Controls

Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the
normal operating position.
Choke Control
The choke control is the top lever located on the rear left
hand side of the engine above the fuel shut-off valve.
The choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine. Move the
lever left to the On position for a cold start. Do not run a
warm engine with the choke in the On position.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the rear right hand side
of the engine.
The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving the
throttle control to the left will increase engine speed and
moving it right will decrease engine speed.
Engine On/Off Switch
Located on the right hand side of the engine.
Rotate the switch clockwise to the On position before starting
the engine. Rotate the switch counterclockwise to the Off
position to kill the engine.

Fuel Shut-Off Valve
The fuel shut-off valve is the lower lever located on the
rear left hand side of the engine below the choke. The fuel
shut-off valve shuts off the flow of fuel when the machine will
not be used for a few days, when parking inside a building,
and during transport to and from the job.
Move the lever to the left to shut off fuel. Move the lever
to the right to turn on fuel.
Wheel Clutch Levers
Located below the right hand and left hand handles.
The wheel clutch levers allow the drive to momentarily
disengage to one or both wheels with the traction drive lever
still engaged. This allows easier turning and maneuvering
the machine (Figure 5).
Squeezing both wheel clutch levers simultaneously disengages
the drive to both wheels (free-wheeling). This enables you to
manually move the machine backward without stopping to
shift it into a reverse gear. It also allows you to maneuver
and transport the machine more easily when the engine is
not running.
