Cub Cadet CC 30 H Operator's Manual page 16

Throttle/Choke Control
The throttle control lever is located on the left
fender of the tractor seated in the operator's
position; see Figure 4-1. This lever controls the speed
of the engine, as well as the choke when it is pushed
all the way forward. When set in a given position,
the throttle will maintain a uniform engine speed.
IMPORTANT:
When operating the tractor with the
cutting deck engaged, be certain that the throttle
lever is always in the FAST (rabbit) position.
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 the Operation section
of this manual for detailed starting instructions.
Ignition Switch Module
The ignition switch module is located on the left fender of the
tractor seated in the operator's position, adjacent to the Throttle/
Choke Control. To start the engine, insert the key into the ignition
switch module 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 counter-clockwise to the
STOP position. See Figure 4-2.

The reverse drive pedal is located on the right side of the tractor
along the running board. Ground speed is also controlled with
the reverse drive pedal. The further downward the pedal is
