TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH MENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-
tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load,
while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with
the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.
REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse
direction with the attachment clutch engaged will shut off
the engine unless ignition key is placed in the ROS "ON"
position.
WARNING:
Backing up with the attachment clutch en-
gaged while mowing is strongly discouraged. Turning the
ROS "ON", to allow reverse operation with the attachment
clutch engaged, should only be done when the operator
decides it is necessary to reposition the machine with the
attachment engaged.
Do not mow in reverse unless
absolutely necessary
.
USING THE REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (See Fig. 11)
Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders
will enter the mowing area.
• Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.
•
With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise
to ROS "ON" position.
• Look down and behind before and while backing.
• Slowly move motion control lever to reverse (R) po si-
tion to start movement.
• When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the
ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.
