Operation
Throttle-Choke Lever (EC21KABBCX,
EC21KABBCY, EC21KABBCCA)
Located on the left side of the engine as shown in
Figure 11.
The lever is used to control engine speed. Moving
the throttle to the full forward (Choke) position will
place the lever in the choke position. The choke aids
in starting a cold engine. Moving the throttle control
forward will increase engine speed and moving it to
the rear will decrease engine speed.
The throttle-choke control also includes an engine
kill position. Moving the lever into the full rearward
(Stop) position will kill the engine.
Note: Some units will not have the choke position.

EC21HNBBCX)
Located on the front left side of the engine as shown
in Figure 10.
The choke aids in starting a cold engine. Pulling
outward will place the control in the choke position.
Pushing the control inward shuts off the choke.

Brake Clutch Units Only)
The blade control lock lever is located on the right
side of the handle next to the Blade Control Bail as
shown in Figure 4.
Moving the blade control lock lever into the full
forward position releases the blade control bail.
Squeezing the blade control bail against the handle
engages the blade. Releasing the blade control bail
automatically disengages the blade. The blade control
lock lever will reset to lock the blade control bail.
