WARNING

The engine will shut off if the reverse ground speed pedal is depressed while the PTO is on and the RMO has not been activated. The operator should always turn the PTO off prior to driving across on roads, paths or any area that maybe used by other vehicles. Sudden loss of drive could create a hazard.

WARNING

Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Never activate RMO if children are present. Children are often attracted to the unit and the mowing activity.

DO NOT TOW TRACTOR

Towing the unit will cause transmission damage. • Do not use another vehicle to push or pull this unit. • Do not actuate the transmission release valve lever while the engine is running.

Mowing in Reverse

If an operator chooses to mow in reverse, the RMO system can be used. To use the Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) turn the RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, and the operator can then mow in reverse. Each time the PTO is disengaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired. The key should be removed to restrict access to the RMO feature.

Attachment Operation in Reverse

If an operator chooses to operate a PTO driven attachment in reverse, the RMO system can be used. To use the Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) turn the RMO key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, and the operator can then operate the attachment in reverse. Each time the PTO is disengaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired. The key should be removed to restrict access to the RMO feature.
