Now that you have set up your riding mower, it’s important to become acquainted
with its controls and features. Refer to Figure 13.
NOTE: References to LEFT, RIGHT, FRONT, and REAR indicate that position on the
riding mower when facing forward while seated in the operator’s seat.
Throttle/Choke Control Lever
The throttle/choke control lever is located on the left side of the lawn
tractor’s dash panel. 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 lawn tractor with the cutting deck
engaged, be certain that the throttle/choke control lever is always in
the FAST (rabbit) position.
Moving the throttle/choke control 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 on page 18 for detailed starting
instructions.
Speed Control Lever (If equipped)
The speed control lever, located on the lower left side of the lawn
tractor’s dash 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 lawn 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 lawn tractor’s ground speed, depress the clutch-brake pedal
and move the speed control lever rearward and release it into a notch.
Parking Brake Pedal & Lever (If equipped)
The parking brake pedal is located on the left side running board of the
lawn tractor. It is used to set the parking brake and to stop the lawn tractor
in sudden situations. The parking brake lever is located on the left side of
the lawn tractor’s dash panel.
To set the parking brake: Fully depress the parking brake pedal. Move
the parking brake lever all the way down and into the parking brake
position (PARK BRAKE ON) and then release the brake pedal to allow the
parking brake to engage.
To release the parking brake: Depress the brake pedal and the parking
brake lever will automatically move out of the parking brake position.
