TO OPERATE ON HILLS
CAUTION: Do not drive up or down hills

Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.
•
If slowing is necessary, move throttle control lever to
slower position.
•
If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch/brake
pedal quickly to brake position and engage parking
brake.
•
Move gearshift lever to 1st gear. Be sure you have

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
(See Fig. 12)
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse
direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off the
engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON" position.
WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the
attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary.
USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM
Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders
will enter the mowing area.
•
Depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and hold.
•
With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise
to ROS "ON" position.
•
Look down and behind before backing.
•
Move gear shift lever to reverse (R) po si tion and slowly
release clutch/brake pedal to start movement.
•
When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the
ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting
your tractor on a truck or a trailer, ensure hood is closed
and secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying
hood to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).
TOWING CARTS & OTHER AT TACH MENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-
tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load,
while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with
the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.
