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:
•
3.2 to 8 km/h (2 to 5 mph) forward mowing speed
•
16 km/h (10 mph) maximum transport speed
•
4.0 km/h (2.5 mph) reverse speed
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the
throttle control.
