2. Push the lever approximately 2-3/8” (6 cm) to release
the transmission (B, Figure 5).

this unit.
• Do not actuate the transmission release
valve lever while the engine is running.
Attaching a Trailer
The maximum horizontal drawbar force allowed is 444
Newton. The maximum vertical drawbar force is 222
Newton. This equates to a 396 lbs (180 kg) trailer on a 10
degree hill. Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized
clevis pin (A, Figure 7) and clip (B).
Adjusting Mower Cutting Height
The height-of-cut switch (A, Figure 6) adjusts the mower
cutting height. Press the switch UP to raise the mower
cutting height and DOWN to lower the mower cutting
height. The cutting height is infi nitely adjustable between
1.0” and 4.0” (2,5 and 10,2 cm).

WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
fl ammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
• Do not choke the carburetor to stop engine.
Mowing in Reverse (RMO)
If an operator chooses to mow in reverse, the RMO sys-
tem 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 engaged the RMO needs
to be reactivated if desired. The key should be removed
to restrict access to the RMO feature.
Attachment Operation in Reverse
If an operator chooses to operate a PTO driven attach-
ment 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 re-
verse. 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.
Attachment Lift Control
The attachment lift control lever (B, Figure 6) raises and
lowers attachments that utilize the tractor’s hydraulic lift
cylinder. Pushing the lever forward lowers the attachment
while pulling the lever back raises the attachment.
