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.

Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

•Look down and behind before 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.
