battery compartment and the hole in the transaxle

Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is located on the dashboard. Start
the engine by turning the key to the START position.
When the engine is running, leave the key in the ON
position. To stop the engine, turn the key to the OFF
position. See Figure 10.
WARNING: Remove the key from the
tractor, when the tractor is not in use, to
prevent accidental starting.

Choke Control
The choke control is located on the dashboard and is
operated manually. Details for the choke operation are
covered in the separate engine manual packed with
your unit. See Figure 10.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the dashboard and is
used to regulate the engine speed. To get maximum
efficiency in cutting grass, the throttle should be in the
FAST position when operating the tractor.
Clutch-Brake Pedal
The clutch-brake pedal is located on the left side of the
tractor. Depressing the pedal returns the drive unit to
neutral (N) and applies the brake. The clutch-brake
pedal must be depressed to start the engine.
Hydrostatic Control Lever
The hydrostatic control lever is located on top of the
fender on the right side of the tractor. This single control
lever, connected to the hydrostatic transmission,
controls both the speed and direction of the tractor.
Infinite speed control is achieved by moving the control
lever forward or backward. The farther forward or
backward you move the control lever, the faster you will
travel. Pulling the control lever into neutral (N) area will
stop the tractor. See Figure 11.
