CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence of controls to use for various tasks see OPERATING THE TRACTOR section.

The throttle/choke lever controls engine speed and choke. Move the throttle forward to increase engine speed and back to decrease engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle. Move the control fully forward (past the detent) to close the choke. Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once the engine starts. A warm engine may not require choking.
Throttle Control

Choke
