After about 3 hours of moving mulch, my PT425 slowly shut off, like something electronic told it to. I had been driving it at less than half throttle thinking that since I had almost no weight in the bucket, no need to use full throtle. Also idled often as I raked in the mulch. What is the proper way of driving this machine so that it does not overheat? It would start right up and if I played with the throttle, it would be ok. If I had it at full throtle, I had to drive it fast to keep it from shutting off. Less than 1/3 throttle, seemed happier but lugged....
