Throttle Control CONTROLS Service Meter The throttle control regulates the engine speed and the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is pulled out. See Blade Switch. To increase or decrease the engine speed, the control is moved forward or back respectively. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower performance and battery charging. The service meter displays the total number of hours the engine has run and indicates when the engine and mower need servicing. After every 50 hours of operation, an oil can icon will appear and stay on for two hours, before an automatic reset occurs. To manually reset the meter, turn the key off and on five times at one second intervals. To service the engine and mower, see the Service Journal of this manual. Note: The service meter operates (clocks hours) only when the engine is running. Be sure to turn the key off when the unit is not in use, to prevent meter hours from accumulating. Blade Switch Choke Control To engage the mower deck, pull the knob out; mower blades are disengaged when the knob is pressed down. The choke control is used for cold starts to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture. For cold starts the control should be pulled up. 13
