The throttle control (Figure 17) gives the operator the
ability to control the speed of the engine. Moving the
throttle control toward the Fast position increases the
engine RPM; moving the throttle control toward Slow
will decrease the engine RPM.
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the
throttle control.

choking.
