Engine Speed Control
(Fig. 4)
The lever is pushed up for FAST ( ) and down for
SLOW ( ). On some models the choke control is
above the fast setting, a cold engine is started on
the Choke setting, a warm one on the FAST setting.
The Choke setting should be cancelled as soon as
possible. The engine should be operated on the
FAST setting at all times.
RPM Meter
(not applicable to Mini tractor)
(Fig. 5)
The RPM monitor on the electronic display indicates
the engine speed. This feature should be used when
the cutter deck is engaged and in conjunction with
the forward speed. To ensure complete cutting and
collection the engine speed should not be allowed
to fall below 2600rpm, the display will flash should
this happen. If, when in use, the display does flash
indicating that the engine speed has dropped below
2600rpm, there are two options: a) Reduce forward
speed b) Raise the cutting height.
