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 the Bronco 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. 
Figure 4
IMPORTANT:
 When operating the tractor with the cutting 
deck engaged, be certain that the throttle lever is 
always in the FAST (rabbit) position.
Choke Control
On Super Bronco 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
 on page 13 of this manual 
for detailed starting instructions.
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is located on the 
right front side of the tractor 
above the drive pedal along the 
running board. The brake pedal 
can be used for sudden stops or 
setting the parking brake. 
NOTE: 
The brake pedal must
be fully depressed to activate the
safety interlock switch when
starting the tractor
.
Ignition Switch Module
WARNING: 
Never leave a running machine
unattended. Always disengage PTO, move
shift lever into neutral position, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
To start the engine, insert the key into the ignition 
switch and turn clockwise to the START position. 
Release the key into the NORMAL MOWING MODE 
position once the engine has fired.
To stop the engine, turn the ignition key 
counterclockwise to the OFF position. See Figure 5.

IMPORTANT:
 Prior to operating the tractor, refer to both 
Safety Interlock Switches on page 12 anStarting The Engine 
on page 13 of this manual for detailed instructions 
regarding the Ignition Switch Module and operating the 
tractor in REVERSE CAUTION MODE.
Drive Pedal
The drive pedal is located below 
the brake pedal on the right front 
side of the tractor along the 
running board. Depress the drive 
pedal with your right foot when 
the tractor shift lever is in either 
FORWARD or REVERSE to 
cause the tractor to move. 
Ground speed is also controlled 
with the drive pedal. The further 
down the pedal is depressed, the faster the tractor will 
travel. The pedal will return to its original position when 
it’s not depressed.
IMPORTANT:
 Always set the parking brake when 
leaving the tractor unattended.
