Throttle Control
The throttle control lever is
located on the left side of the
tractor’s dash panel. This 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, be certain that the
throttle lever is always in the
FAST (rabbit) position.
Choke Control
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 on page 16 of
this manual for detailed starting
instructions.
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
pedal will return to its original
position when it’s not depressed.
IMPORTANT:
Always set the
parking brake when leaving the
tractor unattended.
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
when starting the tractor
.
Deck Lift Lever
Found on your tractor’s right fender, the deck lift lever is
used to change the height of the cutting deck. To use,
move the lever to the left, then place in the notch best
suited for your application.
