Throttle Control

The throttle control (Figure 17) gives the operator the
ability to control the speed of the engine. Moving the
throttle control toward the Fast position increases the
engine RPM; moving the throttle control toward Slow
will decrease the engine RPM. Ground speeds are as
follows:
• 2 to 5 MPH (3.2 to 8 km/h) forward mowing speed
• 10 MPH (16 km/h) maximum transport speed
• 2.5 MPH (4.0 km/h) reverse speed
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the
throttle control.
