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
The throttle/choke control is located on the
right 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.
NOTE: When operating the tractor with the
cutting deck engaged, be certain that the
throttle/choke control is always in the FAST
(rabbit) position.

interlock switch when starting the tractor.
