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 KeyChoice switch only if you are
certain no children or other bystanders will
appear in the mowing area.
• Always remove both the ignition and
KeyChoice 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 KeyChoice key into the KeyChoice
switch
(Figure
6).
2.
Engage the PTO.
3.
Turn the KeyChoice key clockwise until it stops
and release it.
Note:
A red light illuminates on the console to
serve as a reminder that the interlock has been
deactivated.
4.
Perform the mowing.
5.
When finished mowing, remove the KeyChoice
key
(Figure
6).
Note:
Once you deactivate the interlock, it
stays in this mode—with your mower blade or
PTO powered attachment operating whenever
you back up—and the console light stays on
until you either disengage the PTO or turn off
the engine.
