Lifting control

REMARK
If the lever is in the FLOAT position, even when it is released, it
does not return to the HOLD position, so return it by hand.
If the engine is stopped when the control lever is in the FLOAT
position, the lever is returned automatically to the HOLD posi-
tion.
In low temperatures, it may take a short time for the blade con-
trol lever to be held in the FLOAT position, so hold the lever in
position for at least 1 second.
