FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
The Reverse Mowing Option allows for mowing (or use of
other PTO driven attachments) while traveling in reverse.
If you choose to mow in reverse, 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.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disen-
gages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the PTO,
pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note that
the operator must be seated firmly in the tractor seat for
the PTO to function.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.

ward ground speed control pedal. The tractor's reverse
ground speed is controlled by the reverse ground speed

Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed. Note
that the further down the pedal is depressed, the faster the
tractor will travel.
