Choke Lever
Use the choke lever (
) to start a cold engine.
Before pulling the recoil-start handle, move the choke
lever to the C
LOSED
position. Once the engine is
running, move the choke lever to the O
PEN
position.
Do not use the choke if the engine is already warmed
up or if the air temperature is high.
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever (
) controls the speed (rpm)
of the engine. It is located next to the choke lever. It
sets the engine speed and therefore can increase and
decrease the rotation speed of the mixing paddles.
For best performance, set this control to the F
AST
position when mixing material.

•
Rotate it to the O
N
position to start and run the
engine.
