1. Start the unit. Make sure that the brake pedal (P,
Figure 3) is not pushed down.
2. Pull the hydraulic lift lever (D, Figure 3) back until the
deck is at its highest position. This is transport mode.
Note: Do not cut when raised in transport position.
The cutting height electric switch (C, Figure 3 ) controls the
mower cutting height. See Specifications section for height-of-
cut specification.
Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
DANGER
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the operating area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not carry passengers, especially children, even
with the blade(s) shut off. Children can fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with the safe machine
operation. Children who have been given rides in
the past can suddenly appear in the mowing area for
another ride and be run over or backed over by the
machine.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while you
mow in reverse.
• If the machine mows in reverse without the Reverse
Mowing Option activated, see a Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service dealer immediately.
Reverse Mowing
The Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) lets the operator mow in
reverse.
1. Engage the Power Take-Off (PTO) (A, Figure 8 ).

2. Turn the RMO key (B) to the ON position.
3. The L.E.D. light will come on.
Note: The RMO deactivates each time the PTO is
disengaged. Remove the key to prevent access to the RMO.
Maintenance
WARNING
Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic
amputation, or laceration.
Before performing adjustments or repairs:
• Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep it away from
the spark plug.
• Disconnect battery at negative terminal (only engines
with electric start).
• Use only correct tools.
• Do not tamper with governor spring, links, or other parts
to increase engine speed.
• Replacement parts must be of the same design and
installed in the same position as the original parts.
Other parts may not perform as well, may damage the
unit, and may result in injury.
• Do not strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object
because the flywheel may shatter during operation.
