Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
The Reverse Mowing Option allows for mowing (or use of
other PTO driven attachments) while traveling in reverse. If
you choose to mow in reverse, 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.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disen-
gages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the PTO,
pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note that
the operator must be seated firmly in the tractor seat for the
PTO to function.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has three
positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN position
with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.
Ground Speed Pedals
The tractor's forward ground speed is controlled by the
forward ground speed control pedal. The tractor's reverse
ground speed is controlled by the reverse ground speed
control pedal.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed. Note
that the further down the pedal is depressed, the faster the
tractor will travel.
Cruise Control
The cruise control is used to lock the ground speed control
in forward. The cruise control has five lock positions.
