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.

Mowing in Reverse

If an operator chooses to mow in reverse, the RMO sys-
tem can be used. To use the Reverse Mowing Option

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.

after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will illumi-
nate, 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.
