CONTROLS
Parking Brake
PARKING B/RAKE LEVER
This lever, located under the ignition switch, is
used to prevent movement of the lawn tractor
when parked. The lever can be set or released
only when the brake pedal is fully pressed. The
parking brake lever should always be set
before getting off the lawn tractor. The parking
brake lever should be released before pressing
the forward or reverse travel pedal.
Throttle Lever / Choke
BRAKE/PEDAL
Your lawn tractor has separate throttle and choke controls located on
the left side of the instrument panel.
The throttle lever controls the engine speed. There is a detent in the
throttle at the FAST position. This is the location that will give optimum
cutting performance.
Avoid using the throttle to control ground (travel) speed of the tractor.
Instead use the forward or reverse travel pedal.
The choke knob should be pulled out completely when starting a cold
engine and gradually pushed in as the engine warms.
