Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
WARNING
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert
to the presence of children. Never activate the RMO if
children are present. Children are often attracted to the
unit and the mowing activity.
The Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) allows the operator
to mow in reverse (see Features and Controls). To
activate, 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. The key should be removed to
restrict access to the RMO.
