Throttle Control Lever
The throttle control lever is located on the right side of
the tractor’s dash panel. This lever controls the speed
of the engine and, on the Bronco models, when pushed
all the way forward, the choke control also. When set in
a given position, the throttle will maintain a uniform
engine speed. See Figure 4.

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
On Super Bronco models, 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 13 of this manual
for detailed starting instructions.
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 to activate the
safety interlock switch when
starting the tractor
.

WARNING: Never leave a running machine
unattended. Always disengage PTO, move
shift lever into neutral position, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
To start the engine, insert the key into the ignition
switch and turn clockwise to the START position.
Release the key into the NORMAL MOWING MODE
position once the engine has fired.
To stop the engine, turn the ignition key
counterclockwise to the OFF position. See Figure 5.

IMPORTANT:
Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both
Safety Interlock Switches on page 12 and Starting The Engine
on page 13 of this manual for detailed instructions
regarding the Ignition Switch Module and operating the
tractor in REVERSE CAUTION MODE.
Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located below
the brake pedal on the right front
side of the tractor along the
running board. Depress the drive
pedal with your right foot when
the tractor shift lever is in either
FORWARD or REVERSE to
cause the tractor to move.
Ground speed is also controlled
with the drive pedal. The further
down the pedal is depressed, 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.
