Throttle Control Lever
3-Position Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is activated to start the engine. Insert key
into the ignition switch and turn clockwise to the START position.
Release the key into the ON position once engine has fired. See
Fig. 4-3A. The engine will run with the headlights on.
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 Fig. 4-2.
To stop the engine, turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the
OFF position. See Fig. 4-3A.

IMPORTANT: When operating the tractor with the cutting deck
engaged, be certain that the throttle lever is always in the FAST

models, the choke control can be found
on the left side of the dash panel and is
activated by pulling the knob outward.
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
