WARNING
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the mower while
it is unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.

Mowing in Reverse

The machine has an interlock feature that prevents
the mower deck from mowing while the machine is
traveling in reverse. If you shift into reverse with the
PTO engaged, the PTO stops. If you need to mow
while in reverse gear, you can temporarily deactivate
this interlock.
Note:
Do not mow while backing up unless it is
absolutely necessary.
DANGER
A child or bystander could be backed over
by a riding mower with blades engaged and
cause serious personal injury or death.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely
necessary.
• Always look backward and down before
backing up.
• Use the Key Choice™ switch only if you
are certain no children or other bystanders
will appear in the mowing area.
• Always remove both the ignition and Key
Choice™ keys and put them in a safe place
out of the reach of children or unauthorized
users when leaving the unit unattended.
If you are certain that you can safely mow or operate
an attachment in reverse, complete the following
procedure:
1. Insert the Key Choice™ key into the Key
