Briggs & Stratton Engine 725 Exi

Hi. I just bought a new Briggs & Stratton Engine 725 Exi (see the link below for the closest I could find to it on line). The manual is just gibberish to me. (And it seems to be the manual for more than one unit.) Near as I can tell: there is no off/kill switch, and the choke is automatic. But what I can't figure here is how to throttle this thing up. There appears to be a throttle control under the gas tank. Does anyone else have a engine like this and can tell me if that really is the throttle (or give me any more tips)? Thanks.

    I just condemned one yesterday from a pressure washer, (scored cylinder, blown head gasket).
     
    That engine has a pre-set throttle RPM, usually 3,600 RPM's..
     
    That set RPM can be adjusted, (it is set, your not adjusting up and down by a lever) for higher or lower
    RPM's.  
     
    What is it powering? A mower, pressure washer, ??

    Looking at it, it looks to me like there is a set up where you could attach a cable and there is a spring. It reminds me of the set up on a pushmower I have.

    A log splitter. I brought in the old motor to a shop.....they said it was a goner....and this is the closest thing to it they could find.
