Throttle / Choke Control
The throttle control lever is located on the left side
of the tractor’s dash panel, see . 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.
