Pre Start Checks
Before attempting to use the tractor perform all
preparation and training requirements outlined in
the safety section. Read thoroughly and familiarise
yourself with the various control layouts.
DO NOT attempt to use the tractor if you nd any
faults during the preparation check. Report any
fault to your dealer without delay. If your dealer is
unavailable contact Countax directly and we will
assist in locating your nearest approved dealer repair
center.
DO read the following dashboard display and control
descriptions and read Using The Tractor section
before attempting to use the tractor. Improper
start-up can damage the tractor. Failure to adhere to
the correct operating procedure advice laid out in this
operators manual could also lead to severe injury or
death.
DO read the Cutter Deck and PGC & Net sections if
assembly is required.
Choke (fig. 6)
An independent choke is tted to
some models. This choke should
be used in conjunction with a fast
throttle setting when starting the
engine from cold. It should be
cancelled as soon as possible. Do not use the choke
when starting a warm engine.
Ignition Switch (fig. 7)
The key start controls the ignition.
There are four key positions (g.7).
The OFF position is phase 1. Turn the
key to phase 4 to start the engine.
The ignition naturally falls back to
phase 3 on successful start. Turn the key to phase 2
while running to engage RMO.

position.

RMO System (Reverse Mow Override)
All models of the tractor have the RMO system tted as
standard. This system will shut down the cutter deck if the
reverse pedal is pressed during normal operation (key
position 3). When this happens bring the tractor to a
complete stop, perform the normal safety checks, press
the PTO engage switch down (g. 3, page 12, control 12)
to reset and then pull the switch to re-engage the deck to
continue mowing in the forward direction.
Warning: It is not recommended to mow in reverse!
If the operator decides that mowing in reverse is necessary
then the following procedure must be followed.
1- Bring the machine to a complete stop, apply the
handbrake and ensure the PTO is disengaged and leave the
engine running.
2- Rotate the ignition key to the RMO icon position (key
position 2) as indicated in g. 7.
3- Re-check the planned mowing area for any bystanders
or potential hazards before moving off and resuming
mowing.
4- The cutter deck will now operate whilst travelling in the
reverse direction! Always look behind you when mowing in
reverse.
5- If you no longer need the RMO to be activated it is
advisable to disable it. Repeat step 1 above and then turn
the key back to the engine run position (key position 3) as
indicated in g. 7.
