HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER
ENGINE SPEED CONTROL
MODELS WITH REMOTE THROTTLE
Engine speed is controlled by the throttle
control located on the upper handle.
• Move lever forward to FAST engine
speed for starting and better bagging.
• Move lever backward for SLOW speed.
• Some models have engines equipped
with a choke feature. Move the lever all
the way forward to the CHOKE position
when starting a cold engine.
