Traction and Stopping Pedal
The traction pedal (Figure 22) has three functions: to
make the machine move forward, to move it backward,
and to stop the machine. Press the top of the pedal to
move forward and the bottom of the pedal to move
backward or to assist in stopping when moving forward.
Also, allow the pedal to move to the neutral position to
stop the machine. For operator comfort, do not rest the
heel of your foot on reverse when operating forward
(Figure 23).

Parking Brake Lever
Pressing the brake pedal to actuate the brake assembly,
then pressing the small lever indicated (Figure 22) will
keep the brakes actuated for parking. Disengage it by
pressing the brake pedal. Form the habit of locking the
parking brake before you leave the machine. Lock the
parking brake any time you leave the machine.
Throttle Control
The throttle control (Figure 24) gives the operator the
ability to control the speed of the engine. Moving the
throttle control toward the Fast position increases the
engine RPM; moving the throttle control toward Slow
will decrease the engine RPM. Ground speeds are as
follows:
• 2 to 5 MPH (3.2 to 8 km/h) forward mowing speed
• 8.8 MPH (14.1 km/h) maximum transport speed
• 2.5 MPH (4.0 km/h) reverse speed
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the use of the
throttle control.
