Throttle / Choke Control
The throttle control lever is located on the left fender of the tractor as
seen from the operator's position, see Fig. 14. This lever controls the
speed of the engine, as well as the choke when it is pushed all the
way forward. 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.
Moving the throttle lever all the way forward activates the engine's
choke control. Activating the choke control closes the choke plate on
the carburetor and aids in starting the engine.
Refer to Starting The Engine in the Operation section of this manual
for detailed starting instructions.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is located on the left fender of the tractor as seen
from the operator's position, adjacent to the Throttle/Choke Control.
Activate the Ignition Switch to start the engine by inserting the key into
the ignition switch and turn clockwise to the START position. Release
the key into the ON position once engine has fired. See Fig. 15.
Off
Clutch-Brake Pedal
The clutch-brake pedal is located on the left side of the lawn tractor,
along the running board. Depress the clutch-brake pedal part way
down when slowing the tractor by changing speeds (Refer to Speed
Control Lever). Depress the pedal all the way down to engage the
disc brake and bring the tractor to a complete stop.
NOTE: The clutch-brake pedal must be completely depressed to start
the engine. Refer to Safety Interlock Switches in the Operation section
of this manual.
Shift Lever
The shift lever is located on the control panel just below the seat, in the
center of the tractor. It has three positions, FORWARD, NEUTRAL and
REVERSE. The brake pedal must be depressed and the tractor must
not be in motion when moving the shift lever. See Fig. 16.

IMPORTANT: Never force the shift lever. Doing so may result in
serious damage to the tractor's transmission.
Speed Control Lever
The speed control lever, located on the right side of the tractor's
steering console, allows you to regulate the ground speed of the lawn
tractor.
To use, depress the clutch-brake pedal and move the lever out of
the parking brake notch and forward to increase the tractor's ground
speed. When a desired speed has been reached, release the lever into
an appropriate notch to maintain that speed.
To slow the tractor's ground speed, depress the clutch-brake pedal and
move the speed control lever rearward and release it into a notch.
Parking Brake
To set the parking brake, fully depress the clutch-brake pedal. Move
the speed control lever all the way down and into the parking brake
position. Release the clutch-brake pedal to allow the parking brake to
engage.
To release the parking brake, depress the clutch-brake pedal and
move the speed control lever out of the parking brake position into the
desired position. Release the clutch-brake pedal.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator leaves the seat
with the engine running or the engine will automatically shut off.
Fuel Lever Indicator
The Fuel Lever Indicator is located below the seat on the left hand side
from the operator's position in the control panel. Use this window to
identify the tractor's fuel needs. See Fig. 17.
