OPERATION

Mowing in Reverse (RMO)

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.

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 engaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired. The key should be removed to restrict access to the RMO feature.

Adjusting Mower Cutting Height

The mower lift lever (A, Figure 4) controls the mower cutting height. The cutting height is has seven positions between approximately 1-1/4” and 4” (3,2-10,2 cm).

Attaching a Trailer

The maximum horizontal drawbar force allowed is 63 lbs (280 N). The maximum vertical drawbar force is 36 lbs

(160 N). This equates to a 250 lb (113 kg) trailer on a 10 degree hill. Secure the trailer with a clevis pin (A, Figure 5) and retaining clip (B).
