Pushing The Tractor By Hand - Briggs & Stratton Legacy XL Operator's Manual

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.
WARNING The engine will shut off if the reverse
ground speed pedal is depressed while the PTO is ON, but
the RMO has not been activated. The operator should al-
ways turn the PTO OFF prior to driving on roads, paths or
any area that may be used by other vehicles. Sudden loss
of drive could create a hazard.
The Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) allows the user to
operate the mower or another PTO driven attachment
while in reverse 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.
