NOTE: Any reference in this manual to the RIGHT or LEFT side of the tractor is observed from operator’s seat position facing forward towards the front of tractor.
Meets ANSI Safety Standards
Craftsman Tractors conform to the safety standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Throttle / Choke Control
The throttle control lever is located on the left fender of the tractor as seen from the
operator’s position, see Figure 19. 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 Figure 20.
