3. Choke control (Fig. 3-2) – a cable is linked to
manually operate the engine choke. When the lever is
in the down position, the choke is in the off (run)
position. When the lever is pulled up, the choke is in
the on (start) position. Do not operate the machine in
the on (start) position.
4. Control levers (Fig. 3-3) — these levers control the
tractor's speed, direction, neutral lock, and park brake.
Levers are used to steer, accelerate, decelerate and
change direction. When the control levers are in the
park brake position (Fig. 3-4) the tractor will not move
when the engine is on and drive pumps are operating.
WARNING: The parking brake is not designed
to hold the tractor on steep slopes.
