PTO off prior to driving across on roads, paths, or any area
that may be used by other vehicles. Sudden loss of drive
could create a hazard.
Reverse
Mowing
Option
(RIVIO
TM)
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 the RMO if children
are present. Children are often attracted to the unit and the
mowing activity.
The Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) allows the operator to
mow in reverse (see Features
and Controls).
To activate,
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 restdct
access to the RMO.

WARNING
Towing the unit will cause transmission damage.
Do not use another vehicle to push or pull this unit. Do not
actuate the transmission release lever while the engine is
running.
