Page 13

Throttle Control Lever

The throttle control lever is located on the right side of the tractor’s dash panel. This lever controls the speed of the engine and, on some models, when pushed all the way forward, the choke control also. When set in a given position, the throttle will maintain a uniform engine speed. See Figure 4-1.

IMPORTANT: When operating the tractor with the cutting deck engaged, be certain that the throttle lever is always in the FAST (rabbit) position.

Choke Control

On some models, moving the throttle lever all the way forward activates the engine’s choke control. On all other models, the choke control can be found on the left side of the dash panel and is activated by pulling the knob outward. Activating the choke control closes the choke

plate on the carburetor and aids in starting the engine. Refer to Starting The Engine in this section of the manual for detailed starting instructions.

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.

Ignition Switch Module

WARNING: Never leave a running machine unattended. Always disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral position, set parking brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended start- ing.

To start the engine, insert the key into the ignition switch 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 counterclockwise to the STOP position. See Figure 4-3.

IMPORTANT: Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both Safety Interlock Switches and Starting The Engine in this section of the manual for detailed instructions regarding the Ignition Switch Module and operating the tractor in REVERSE CAUTION MODE.

Drive Pedal

The drive pedal is located below the brake pedal on the right front side of the tractor along the running board.

Depress the drive pedal with your right foot when the tractor shift lever is in either FORWARD or REVERSE to cause the tractor to move. Ground speed is

also controlled with the drive pedal. The further down the pedal is depressed, the

faster the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original position when it’s not depressed.

IMPORTANT: Always set the parking brake when leaving the tractor unattended.
