CONTROL IDENTIFICATION, LOCATION, AND
FUNCTION
Operating Controls
Engine Choke - (Model MT and MTL only)
The choke control lever (black knob) is located on
the left side of the seat. To start a cold engine, move
the choke control forward to the ON position. After
engine starts, move the choke control toward the
OFF position, keeping enough choke to allow the
engine to run smoothly as it warms up. As soon as
possible, move the choke to the OFF position. A
warm engine requires little or no choke for starting.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the choke is in the OFF
position during normal engine operation; running
with the choke in the ON position CAN damage the
engine.
CAUTION
Before operating the mower, become fa-
miliar with the location and function of all
operator controls. Knowing the location,
function, and operation of these controls
is important for safe and efficient opera-
tion of the mower.
