forward. Release the pedal to stop. Note that the further

Mowing in Reverse

WARNING
The engine will shut off if the reverse ground
speed pedal is depressed while the PTO is on
and the RMO has not been activated. The
operator should always turn the PTO off prior to
driving across on roads, paths or any area that
maybe used by other vehicles. Sudden loss of
drive could create a hazard.
WARNING
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to
bystanders. Tragic accidents can occur if the
operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Never activate RMO if children are present.
Children are often attracted to the unit and the
mowing activity.
If an operator chooses to mow in reverse, the RMO system can
be used. To use the Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) turn the
RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will
illuminate, and the operator can then mow in reverse. Each time
the PTO is engaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired.
The key should be removed to restrict access to the
RMO feature.

Attachment Operation in Reverse

If an operator chooses to operate a PTO driven attachment in
reverse, the RMO system can be used. To use the Reverse
Mowing Option (RMO) turn the RMO key after the PTO is
engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, and the operator can
then operate the attachment in reverse. Each time the PTO is
disengaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired. The
key should be removed to restrict access to the RMO feature.

Pushing the Tractor by Hand

1. Disengage the PTO and turn the engine off.
2. Pull the transmission release (B, Figure 3) back
approximately 2-3/8" (6 cm) to lock into released position.
3. The tractor can now be pushed by hand.
DO NOT TOW TRACTOR
Towing the unit will cause transmission damage.
