WARNING! Read and follow all safety rules and instructions in this manual, including the entire Operation section, before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with all safety rules

and instructions may result in personal injury.

Throttle/Choke Control

On some models, 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.

Choke Control

On some models, the Choke is separate from the Throttle lever. In this instance, a Choke Control is present. Simply pull out on the Choke Control to activate the Choke.

Brake Pedal

The brake pedal is located on the left 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

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.
