Brake Pedal - Cub Cadet GT1554 VT Operator's Manual

Throttle/Choke Control
The throttle/choke control is located on the left side of
the tractor's dash panel. This lever controls the speed
of the engine and, when pushed all the way forward,
closes the choke for cold starting. When set in a given
position, the throttle will maintain a uniform engine
speed.
NOTE: When operating the tractor with the cutting
deck engaged, be certain that the throttle/choke
control is always in the FAST (rabbit) position.

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.
Seat Adjustment Lever (Not Seen)
The seat adjustment lever is located below the front/left of the
seat. The lever allows for adjustment of the fore to aft position of
the operator's seat. Refer to the Assembly and Set-Up section of
this manual for more detailed instructions.

Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located on the right side of the
tractor, along the running board. Press the upper
portion of the drive pedal forward to cause the
tractor to travel forward. The further forward the
pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel.
The pedal will return to its original position when
it's not pressed.
Reverse Pedal
The reverse pedal is located on the right side of the
tractor, along the running board. Press the lower
portion of the reverse pedal with the ball of your
right foot (NOT your heel) to cause the tractor to
travel in reverse. The further rearward that the
pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel.
The pedal will return to its original position when
it's not pressed.
Systems Indicator Monitor/
Hour Meter LCD
When the ignition key is rotated out of
the STOP position but not into the START
position, the systems indicator monitor
displays the battery's output, in volts, on its
LCD for approximately five seconds, after
which it displays an hour glass and the hours of tractor operation.
Once the tractor is started, the monitor continually displays an
hour glass and the hours of tractor operation on its LCD.
NOTE: Hours of tractor operation are recorded any time the
ignition key is rotated out of the STOP position, regardless of
whether the engine is started.
The Indicator Monitor will also remind the operator of
maintenance intervals for changing the engine oil. The LCD will
alternately flash the recorded hours, "CHG" and "OIL" for five
minutes, after every 50 hours of recorded operation elapse. The
maintenance interval lasts for two hours (from 50-52, 100-102,
150-152, etc.). The LCD will also flash as described above for five
minutes every time the tractor's engine has been started during
this maintenance interval. Before the interval expires, change
the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance & Adjustments
section of this Operator's Manual.
