Choke Control

The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and 
is activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating the 
choke control closes the choke plate on the carburetor 
and aids in starting the engine.

Throttle Control

The throttle control is located on the 
engine. It regulates the speed of the 
engine and will shut off the engine when 
pushed down completely.

Primer

Depressing the primer forces fuel directly 
into the engine’s carburetor to aid in 
cold-weather starting.

Oil Fill

Engine oil level can be checked and oil 
added through the oil fill.

WARNING

Read, understand, 
and follow all instruc-
tions and warnings 
on the machine and 
in this manual before 
operating.

Use extreme care 
when handling 
gasoline. Gasoline is 
extremely flammable 
and the vapors are 
explosive. 

Never

 fuel 

the machine indoors 
or while the engine 
is hot or running. 
Extinguish cigarettes, 
cigars, pipes and 
other sources of 
ignition.
