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 9.
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 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 Module
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.
To start the engine, insert the key into the ignition switch
and turn clockwise to the START position. Release the
key into the NORMAL MOWING MODE position once
the engine has fired.
To stop the engine, turn the ignition key counterclockwise
to the OFF position. See Figure 10.

IMPORTANT: Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both
Safety Interlock Switches and Starting The Engine
in this section of the manual for detailed instructions
regarding the Ignition Switch Module and operating the
tractor in REVERSE CAUTION MODE.
Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located below the
brake pedal on the right front side of
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.
