Lifting Lever for the Mower Deck

The lifting lever is used to place the mower deck in

the transport position or one of the 17 different cutting

height positions.

The cutting height is set by placing a peg in the hole

for the desired cutting height and the peg is then

locked on the inside (hidden in illustration) with the

supplied pin.

Pull the lever backward to the locked •

position to engage the transport position.

The deck is then fully raised.

To lower, squeeze the lock handle up to the •

lifting lever while moving the lever forward.

When the lever meets the set peg, the

desired height is set.

The lifting lever can also be used to •

temporarily adjust the cutting height, such

as when passing over a minor bump in the

lawn.

Choke control

The choke control is used for cold starts to provide the

engine with a richer fuel mixture.

For cold starts, pull the control out to its extent.

Choke control

Throttle control

The throttle control regulates the engine speed and

thereby the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the

blade switch is pulled out (see Engaging the Mower

Deck).

In order 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.
