Parking Brake
The parking brake is found on the left of the machine.
Push the release button and pull the lever backward
to activate the brake—push forward to release it.
The park brake is designed to hold the mower from
moving and is not intended for use in stopping the
mower while it is in motion. The engine will stop if the
park brake is engaged while the control levers are in
the drive position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The machine must stand absolutely still when
applying the parking brake. Always set the
parking brake before dismounting. Release the
parking brake before moving the mower.

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.
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.
