Reverse Mowing Option (RMO)
The Reverse Mowing Option allows for mowing (or use of other
PTO driven attachments) while traveling in reverse. If you
choose to mow in reverse, 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.
PTO Switch
The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disengages
attachments that use the PTO. To engage the PTO, pull UP on
the switch. Push DOWN to disengage.
Note that the operator
must be seated firmly in the tractor seat for the PTO to function.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, it has
three positions:
OFF Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.
RUN Allows the engine to run and powers the
electrical system.
START Cranks the engine for starting.
NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN
position with the engine stopped–this drains the battery.

is controlled by the reverse ground speed control pedal.
Depressing either pedal will increase ground speed. Note that

will travel.

position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the
