Troy-Bilt Pony Manuel D’Utilisation

The speed control lever, located on the left side of 
the 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 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 tractor’s ground speed, depress the 
clutch-brake pedal and move the speed control 
lever rearward and release it into a notch. 

To set the parking brake, fully depress the clutch-
brake pedal. Move the speed control lever all the 
way down and into the parking brake position. 
Release the clutch-brake pedal to allow the parking 
brake to engage.
To release the parking brake, depress the clutch-brake pedal and 
move the speed control lever out of the parking brake position 
into the desired position. Release the clutch-brake pedal.
NOTE: The parking brake must be set if the operator leaves the 
seat with the engine running or the engine will automatically 
shut off.

Found on your tractor’s right fender, the deck lift lever 
is used to change the height of the cutting deck. To 
use, move the lever to the left, then place in the notch 
best suited for your application.

PTO (Blade Engage) Lever

Found on the tractor’s right fender, the PTO (blade
