Stopping the Machine
To shut off the machine, release the traction-control

the throttle is in the
FAST
brake, and turn the ignition key to off.
Note:
Remember to remove the key from the ignition
switch.
WARNING
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the machine while
it is unattended.
Always remove both the ignition and Key
Choice keys and engage the parking brake
when leaving the machine unattended, even if
just for a few minutes.
Mowing in Reverse
The machine has an interlock feature that prevents
the mower deck from mowing while the machine is
traveling in reverse. If you shift into reverse with the
PTO engaged, the PTO stops. If you need to mow
while in reverse gear, you can temporarily deactivate
this interlock.
Note:
Do not mow while backing up unless it is
necessary.
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 Key Choice switch only if you are
certain no children or other bystanders will
appear in the mowing area.
• Always remove both the ignition and
Key Choice keys and put them in a safe
place out of the reach of children or
unauthorized users when leaving the
machine unattended.
If you are certain that you can safely mow or operate

the engine.
