Throttle Control Lever
The throttle control lever controls
the speed of the engine. When
set in a given position, the throttle
will maintain a uniform engine
speed.
IMPORTANT: When operating
the tractor with the cutting deck
engaged, throttle control lever
must always be in the FAST
(rabbit) position.
Choke Control
The choke control knob is located
on the lower left side of the dash
panel and is activated by pulling
outward. Activating the choke control closes the choke
plate on the carburetor and aids in starting the engine.
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is located at the front of the right running
board and is used for quick stops, or setting the parking
brake. This pedal must be FULLY depressed to activate
the safety interlock switch when starting the tractor.
Parking Brake Lever
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator
leaves the seat with the engine running; otherwise the
engine will automatically shut off.
• To set the parking brake, fully depress
the brake pedal and push the bottom
of parking brake lever inward. See the
image to the right for parking brake
identification. Hold the lever in while
removing your foot from the brake
pedal. Both parking brake lever and
brake pedal will stay depressed.
• To release the parking brake, depress
the brake pedal slightly. The parking brake lever will
then return to its original position.
IMPORTANT: Always set the parking brake when leaving
the tractor unattended.
Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located on the right side of the tractor,
along the running board. Depress the upper portion of
the drive pedal forward to cause the tractor to travel
forward. Depress the lower portion of the drive
pedal with the ball of your right foot (NOT your
heel) to cause the tractor to travel in reverse.
Ground speed is also controlled with the drive
pedal. The further forward or rearward that the
pedal is pivoted, the faster the tractor will travel.
The tractor will slow and the pedal will return
to its original position when the pedal is not
depressed.
PTO (Blade Engage)
Control Switch
To engage the electric PTO and
provide power to the cutting deck,
pull outward on the PTO control
switch knob. Push the switch knob
inward to disengage the PTO and
stop the cutting deck.
NOTE: The PTO Control Switch
must be in the disengaged (OFF)
position when starting the engine.
Key Switch Module
The key switch module is
used to start and stop the
engine. It is also used to
activate the REVERSE
CAUTION MODE. Insert
key into the key switch
module and turn clockwise
to the START position.
Release the key into
the NORMAL MOWING
position once engine has
started.
To stop the engine, turn the ignition key counterclockwise
to the STOP position.

machine unattended. Always
disengage PTO, move shift lever into
neutral position, set parking brake,
stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
