REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)

Your riding mower is equipped with a Reverse Operation System (ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse direc- tion with the deck clutch engaged will shut off the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON" position.

WARNING: Backing up with the deck clutch engaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS "ON", to al- low reverse operation with the deck 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.
