OPERATION

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.

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 -

Depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and hold.

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

Look down and behind before and while backing.

Move gear shift lever to reverse (R) position and slowly release clutch/brake pedal to start movement.

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