Parking Brake Lever CONTROLS This lever is used to prevent movement
of the lawn tractor when parked. The
parking brake lever should always be set
before getting off the lawn tractor. The
parking brake lever should be released
before moving the shift lever into any
gear. 77lCACAECDR
The parking brake is set by pressing and holding the brake pedal all
the way down, then move the parking brake lever down. The brake
pedal remains held down by the parking brake lever.
To release the parking brake, hold down the brake then move the
parking brake lever up. The brake pedal can then be released.
The engine stops if you rise off the seat without the parking brake
engaged. You should always move the shift lever to NEUTRAL before
setting the parking brake.
Throttle Lever / Choke The throttle lever controls engine speed and is also
used to set the choke on or off. When starting a
cold engine, the throttle should be set to CHOKE,
or to FAST if the engine is warm.
For the best cut quality, the throttle should be set
to FAST when mowing. Avoid using the throttle to
control the ground (travel) speed of the lawn
tractor; instead, use the shift lever.
The SLOW position on the throttle is used to idle
the engine, for example, before turning the engine
off.
