OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING
Throttle Lever
For best cut quality, always mow with the throttle lever in the FAST
position. When the blades rotate at the preset fast speed, it creates a
strong fan action that lifts and cuts grass more efficiently. Do not try to
increase the preset engine speed, the blade(s) could fracture and
come apart.
When you need to leave the mower for any reason, move the throttle
to SLOW, then turn the engine OFF by releasing the flywheel
brake lever.
Flywheel Brake Lever
The lever must be pulled back
against the handlebar to start and
run the engine. The blade starts to
rotate when the lever is pulled back
against the handlebar and the recoil
starter grip is pulled.
Continue to hold the lever against
the handlebar to keep the engine
running and the blade rotating.
Release the lever to stop the
engine and stop blade rotation.
