Throttle Control Lever; Choke Control; Brake Pedal; Ignition Switch - Troy-Bilt Super Bronco Operator's Manual

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 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 Fig. 4-2.
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

Moving the throttle lever all the
way forward activates the engine's
choke control. Activating the choke
control closes the choke plate on
the carburetor and aids in starting
the engine. Refer to Starting
The Engine in this section of
the 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.

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch is activated to start the engine. Insert
key into the ignition switch and turn clockwise to the
START position. Release the key into the ON position
once engine has fired. See Figure 4-3.
WARNING: Never leave a running machine
unattended. Always disengage PTO, move
shift lever into neutral position, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to
prevent unintended starting.
IMPORTANT: Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both
Safety Interlock Switches and Starting The Engine on
page 13 of this manual for detailed instructions regarding
the Ignition Switch.

Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located below the

the tractor along the running board.
Depress the drive pedal with your
right foot when the tractor shift lever
is in either FORWARD or REVERSE
to cause the tractor to move.
Ground speed is also controlled with
the drive pedal. The further down
the pedal is depressed, the faster the tractor will travel.
The pedal will return to its original position when it's not
depressed.
IMPORTANT: Always set the parking brake when leaving
the tractor unattended.
