(2) DEACTIVATION OF THE MOWING DECK DISENGAGEMENT FOR REVERSING
Switch R serves to disengage the automatic mowing deck disengagement function when reversing ( 5.5.1).
The switch needs to be pressed when the mowing deck has already been
automatically disengaged but the blades have not yet stopped rotating
(approx. 4 seconds) or when the mowing deck is started immediately
before the reverse travel pedal is stepped on. Then with every
subsequent change in the travel direction from reverse to forward, the
disengagement of the mowing deck is again reactivated.
