WARNING
Never leave the mower unattended when the motor is
running. Verify that the parking brake is set and the key has
been removed. Failure to set the parking brake could cause
the mower to move, and leaving the key could allow
unauthorized use that could result in serious personal injury.

REVERSE MODE OPERATION:
•
Depress the brake pedal and bring the mower to a
complete stop.
•
Push the PTO switch down to turn blades off.
•
Place direction control switch in reverse (R) position.
•
Raise the PTO switch, slowly press accelerator pedal, and
reverse mow as needed.
•
Keep pressing the reverse mode button to activate the
blade.
WARNING
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always
look down and behind before and while backing to make
sure no children, bystanders, or pets enter the mowing area.
Be aware that the reverse mode operation is activated when
the reverse mode button is illuminated in green. Remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Be especially careful before and when backing with the
bagger kit (not provided) installed, as it may limit visibility.
Always look closely behind and down for small children,
bystanders, and pets and move the mower slowly to prevent
back over accidents that can cause death or serious personal
injury.
8.2.6
SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
This mower features a Safety Interlock System to protect the
operator by shutting off the blades if the operator leaves the
seat with the blades running. Test the system before each use
to be sure it is working correctly.
1. Make sure direction control switch is in neutral (N)
position and PTO switch is down.
2. Install start key and turn to start position.
3. Raise the PTO switch to activate blades.
4. Briefly lift off the seat, but do not get off the mower.
The blades should shut off within 5 seconds. If they don’t,
contact customer service. Do not operate the mower until the
safety interlock system has been repaired.
