Mowing in Reverse
If an operator chooses to mow in reverse, the RMO
system can be used. To use the Reverse Mowing
Option (RMO) 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
disengaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired.
The key can be removed to restrict access to the RMO
feature.
Attachment Operation in Reverse
If an operator chooses to operate a PTO driven
attachment in reverse, the RMO system can be used.
To use the Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) turn the RMO
key after the PTO is engaged. The L.E.D. light will
illuminate, 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 can
be removed to restrict access to the RMO feature.
Mowing
1. Set the mower cutting height to the desired level and
set the gauge wheels to the appropriate position (if
equipped).
2. Engage the parking brake. Make sure the PTO switch
is disengaged.
3. Start the engine (see STARTING THE ENGINE).
4. Fully lower the mower using the attachment lift lever.
5. Set the throttle to FULL.
6. Engage the PTO (Mower Deck).
7. Begin mowing. See Lawn Care and Mowing
Information section for tips on mowing patterns, lawn
care, and troubleshooting information.
8. When finished, shut off the PTO and raise the mower
using the attachment lift control lever.
9. Stop the engine (see STOPPING THE TRACTOR
AND ENGINE).
WARNING
The engine will shut off if the reverse ground
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.
WARNING
Mowing in reverse can be hazardous to
bystanders. Tragic accidents can occur if the
operator is not alert to the presence of children.
Never activate RMO if children are present.
Children are often attracted to the unit and the
mowing activity.
