IMPORTANT NOTE:
Be sure you have proper throttle movements and that the throttle
cable is not wrapped or twisted around the handle bar. Hold
down the lockout lever, fully squeeze the throttle trigger and let
go. Engine throttle triangle must click in both directions. If there
is any doubt, remove air filter and visually check that the throttle
triangle hits both the idle screw and the full open stop. THIS
MUST BE dONE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure you have installed the handles
properly. when you stand behind your tiller,
holding the handles, the fender warning label
should face you.
