Throttle Control Lever
The throttle control lever is located on the right side of
the tractor’s dash panel. This lever controls the speed
of the engine and, on some models, when pushed all
the way forward, the choke control also. When set in a
given position, the throttle will maintain a uniform engine
speed. See Figure 4-2.
IMPORTANT: When operating the tractor with the
cutting deck engaged, be certain that the throttle lever is
always in the FAST (rabbit) position.
