DANGER
This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet, and
throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety
instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Only operate the machine in daylight hours or good
artificial light.
• Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden
hazards.
Uneven terrain can overturn the machine or cause
operator to lose their balance or footing.
• Do not direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid
discharging material against a wall or obstruction as
material may ricochet back toward the operator.
• Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel surface.
• Do not leave a running machine unattended. Always
park on level ground, disengage the attachment, set
parking brake, stop engine and remove starter insert or
key.

Controls.

Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)

DANGER
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to bystanders.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the operating area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
• Do not carry passengers, especially children, even
with the blade(s) shut off. Children can fall off and be
seriously injured or interfere with the safe machine
operation. Children who have been given rides in
the past can suddenly appear in the mowing area for
another ride and be run over or backed over by the
machine.
• Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while
backing.
• If the machine mows in reverse without Reverse
Mowing Option activated, see an authorized service
dealer immediately.
1. Engage the Power Take-Off (PTO). See Features and
Controls.
2. Turn the Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) key to the ON
position.
3. The L.E.D. light comes on.
4. The operator mows in reverse.
Note: The key must be removed to restrict access to the
RMO.
