Features & 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 illumi-
nate, and the operator can then mow in reverse. Each
time the PTO is engaged the RMO needs to be reactivat-
ed if desired.

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 trac-

The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
