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.
Mowing in Reverse
If an operator chooses to mow in reverse, the RMO sys-
tem 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.
