OPERATION

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 11)

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.

NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface.

Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See “TO AD- JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT” in the Operation section of this manual).

With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole with shoulder bolt, 3/8 washer, and 3/8-16 locknut and tighten securely.

Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel in same adjustment hole.

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System (ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON" position.

WARNING: Backing up with the attachment clutch en- gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the attachment engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (See Fig. 13)

Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders will enter the mowing area.

Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.

With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise to ROS "ON" position.

Look down and behind before and while backing.

Slowly move motion control lever to reverse (R) position to start movement.

When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.
