To start the unit, check the oil and gas.  Ensure the plastic engine stop key is installed, prime 3-4 times, close the choke and pull the string.  It should start right up.  As for the levers, the main item you can adjust it the ground speed.  Select the speed based on the conditions.

Let me know if this helps.
