Choke Control
The choke control is located on the left side of the handle and
when activated, closes the choke plate on the carburetor and
aids in starting the engine. Pull the choke control to activate the
choke on the engine. Use of the choke may not be necessary if
the engine is warm or the air temperature is high.
Mulching Plug

has the option of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn.
Make sure that the rear discharge door is closed and the grass
catcher is removed from unit while mulching.
