The tractor's forward ground speed is controlled by the for-
ward ground speed control pedal. The tractor's reverse
ground speed is controlled by the reverse ground speed

tractor will travel.

reverse, 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 disengaged the RMO needs
to be reactivated if desired.
