throttle
when operating
under load, especially
with
power driven equipment.

prolonged periods
of
time,
• overheating may result causing engine damage. Over
all, the engine works best at full throttle. (3600 RPM)
HEAD LIGHTS
The Ignition Switch must
be
in the "RUN" position
before lights will work on all models. The engine on
the 816S also must be running.
GROUND SPEED
Experiment
by
varying
ground

dependent upon conditions.
1.
Ground
Engaging Attachments: SLOW ground
