REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS) (See Fig. 11)

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 -

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

•Depress brake pedal all the way down.

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

•Look down and behind before and while backing.

•Slowly depress reverse drive pedal to start move- ment.

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

TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 3 and 12)

•Raise attachment lift to highest position with attachment lift control.

•Pull freewheel control out and down into the slot and release so it is held in the disengaged position.

•Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2) MPH.
