Throttle Control Lever

The throttle control lever is located on the right side of

the tractor’s dash panel. This lever controls the speed

of the engine and, on some models, when pushed all

the way forward, the choke control also. When set in a

given position, the throttle will maintain a uniform

engine speed. See Figure 6.

IMPORTANT: When operating the tractor with the cutting

deck engaged, be certain that the throttle lever is

always in the FAST (rabbit) position.

Choke Control

On some models, moving the

throttle lever all the way forward

activates the engine’s choke

control. On all other models, the

choke control can be found on

the left side of the dash panel and

is activated by pulling the knob

outward. Activating the choke

control closes the choke plate on

the carburetor and aids in starting

the engine. Refer to Starting The Engine in the

OPERATION section of this manual for detailed starting

instructions.

Brake Pedal

The brake pedal is located on the

right front side of the tractor

above the drive pedal along the

running board. The brake pedal

can be used for sudden stops or

setting the parking brake.

NOTE: The brake pedal must be fully depressed to

activate the safety interlock switch when starting the

tractor
