Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
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 the RMO if children
are present. Children are often attracted to the unit and
the mowing activity.
The Reverse Mowing Option (RMO) allows the operator to
mow in reverse (see Features and Controls ). To activate,
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.

Features and Controls ).

the transmission. The tractor can now be driven.
WARNING
