TO OPERATE MOWER
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sens-
ing switch. While engine is running, any attempt by the
op er a tor to leave the seat without first setting the parking
brake will shut off the engine. You must remain fully and
centrally positioned in the seat to prevent the engine from
hesitating or cutting off when operating your equipment on
rough, rolling terrain or hills.
•
Select desired height of cut. (See "TO ADJUST MOWER
CUTTING HEIGHT".)
•
Start mower blades by engaging at tach ment clutch
control.
TO STOP MOWER BLADES
Disengage at tach ment clutch con trol.
CAUTION: Do not operate the mower without
either the en tire grass catcher, on mowers
so equipped, or the deflector chute in place

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
(See Fig. 12)
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to mow in the reverse
direction without first pressing the ROS button (G) will stop
mower blades. Ensure the transmission is in the neutral
position, move the attachment clutch control to the disen-
gaged position, and then back into the engaged position
before continuing with ROS operation.
WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en-
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Allowing re-
verse 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.
•
With engine running, depress brake pedal all the way
down.
•
Press ROS button (G) and ensure the ROS button is lit.
•
Look down and behind before and while backing.

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 AND 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.
