11. 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.

The mower deck’s lifting lever
12. 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 the illustration) with the
supplied pin.
Pull the lever backward to the locked position to
engage the transport position. The deck is then raised.
Depress the lock handle, counter hold, and move the
lifting lever forward toward the peg to engage the set
cutting height. The deck is then lowered.
The lifting lever can also be used to temporarily adjust
the cutting height, such as when passing a minor
bump in the lawn.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In order to obtain an even cutting height it
is important that the air pressure in all four
tires is the same 15 psi (1 bar).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always use the high position to transport.
