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.

,_L,WARNING: Backing up with the at-

tachment clutch engaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attach- ment 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 -

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

1.Move motion control lever to neutral position.

2.With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise to ROS "ON" posi- tion.

3.Look down and behind before and while backing.

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

5.When use ofthe ROS isno longer needed, turn the ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.

To restart movement, slowly release park- ing brake and clutch/brake pedal.

Slowly move motion control lever to slow- est setting.

Make all turns slowly.

TO OPERATE ON HILLS

,_kWARNING: Do not drive up or down

hills with slopes greater than 15° and do not drive across any slope. Use the slope guide provided at the back of this manual.

Choose the slowest speed before starting up or down hills.

Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.

If stopping is absolutely necessary, push clutch/brake pedal quicklyto brake position and engage parking brake.

Move motion control lever to neutral posi- tion.

iMPORTANT." The motion control lever does not return to neutral position when the clutch/ brake pedal is depressed.

Tow only the attachments that are recom- mended by and comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your tractor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.
