WARNING
The engine will shut off if the reverse ground
speed pedal is depressed while the PTO is on and
the RMO has not been activated. The operator
should always turn the PTO off prior to driving
across on roads, paths or any area that maybe
used by other vehicles. Sudden loss of drive
could create a hazard.
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 RMO if children are present.
Children are often attracted to the unit and the
mowing activity.

Mowing in Reverse

If an operator chooses to mow in reverse, the RMO sys-
tem can be used. To use the Reverse Mowing Option
(RMO) 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 feature.

Attachment Operation in Reverse

If an operator chooses to operate a PTO driven attach-
ment in reverse, the RMO system can be used. To use
the Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) turn the RMO key
after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate,
and the operator can then operate the attachment in
reverse. Each time the PTO is disengaged the RMO
needs to be reactivated if desired. The key should be
removed to restrict access to the RMO feature.

Pushing the Tractor by Hand

1. Disengage the PTO and turn the engine off.
2. Pull the transmission release (B, Figure 3) back
approximately 2-3/8" (6 cm) to lock into released
position.
3. The tractor can now be pushed by hand.
DO NOT TOW TRACTOR
Towing the unit will cause transmission dam-
age. • Do not use another vehicle to push or
pull this unit. • Do not actuate the transmis-
sion release valve lever while the engine is
running.
