OPERATING THE CONTROLS FOR MOWING
Throttle Lever
For best cut quality, always mow with
the throttle lever [1] in the fast position
[2]. When the blade rotates 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
could fracture and come apart.
Blade Control Lever
To start blade rotation, press the
yellow button [1] on top of the blade
control lever [2], then push the lever
forward and hold it against the
handlebar.
Release the blade control lever [2] to
stop the blade.
Operate the blade control lever with a
quick and complete motion, so the
blade control is always either fully
engaged or disengaged. This will help
to prevent stalling the engine, and it
will help prevent damage to the blade
control mechanism.
