Lawn Tractor controls and features are illustrated in Fig. 4-1 and
described on the following pages.
WARNING! Read and follow all safety rules and
instructions in this manual, including the entire
Operation section, before attempting to operate
this machine. Failure to comply with all safety rules
and instructions may result in personal injury.
Throttle/Choke Control Lever
The throttle/choke control is located on the left
side of the tractor’s dash panel.
This lever controls the speed of the
engine and, on some models, when
pushed all the way forward, closes
the choke for cold starting. When
set in a given position, the throttle
will maintain a uniform engine
speed.
Figure 4-1
NOTE: When operating the tractor with the cutting deck
engaged, be certain that the throttle/choke control is always in
the FAST (rabbit) position.
Choke Control (If Equipped)
On some models, moving the throttle lever all the
way forward activates the engine’s choke control.
On all other 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.
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is located on the left front
side of the tractor 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.
