Operating the Throttle with
Horizon™ Technology
There are 3 positions that the throttle switch can operate
at—maximum speed, economy speed, and low speed
(Figure 15).
From the economy speed (middle) position, push down
on the front of the switch to place the throttle into the
maximum-speed position (Figure 15).
From the economy speed (middle) position, push down on
the back of the switch to place the throttle into the low-speed
position (Figure 15).

Positioning the throttle switch to maximum, economy, or
low allows for 6 different operational modes—3 modes with
the PTO disengaged (transport) and 3 modes with the PTO
engaged (mow). See the following table to determine the
appropriate engine speed.

for mowing.
