Throttle / Choke Control
The throttle control lever is located on the right side of
the 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. See Fig. 5.
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 start-
ing the engine. Refer to
Starting The Engine
on page 12
of this manual for detailed starting instructions.
