Throttle Control; Hour Meter; Ignition Switch - Toro 04358 Greensmaster 3150 Operator's Manual

Throttle Control

The throttle control (Figure 13) gives the operator the ability
to control the speed of the engine. Moving the throttle
control toward the Fast position increases the engine rpm;
moving the throttle control toward Slow will decrease the
engine rpm.
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the
throttle control.

Choke
To start a cold engine, close the carburetor choke by moving
the choke control (Figure 13) forward to the Closed position.
After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine
running smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke by
pulling it rearward to the Open position. A warm engine
requires little or no choking.
Leak detector test/light switch
From the middle operating position, move the switch
(Figure 13) rearward to check the operation of the leak
detector alarm and time delay. Move the switch forward to
operate the optional lights.

the total hours the machine has operated. It starts to function
whenever the key switch is rotated to On.
Seat Adjusting Lever

cm (4 inch) fore and aft adjustment of the seat.
