TO OPERATE MOWER

Your riding mower is equipped with an

operator presence sensing switch. Any

attempt by the operator to leave the seat

with the engine running and the deck clutch

engaged will shut off the engine. You must

remain fully and centrally positioned in the

seat to prevent the engine from hesitating or

cutting off when operating your equipment

on rough, rolling terrain or hills.

1. Select desired height of cut.

2. Start mower blade by engaging deck

clutch lever.

TO STOP MOWER BLADE-

Disengage deck clutch lever.

CAUTION: Do not operate the mower

without either the entire grass catcher, on

mowers so equipped, or the deflector shield

in place.

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse

Operation System (ROS). Any attempt by

the operator to travel in the reverse direc-

tion with the deck clutch engaged will shut

off the engine unless ignition key is placed

in the ROS "ON" position.

WARNING: Backing up with the deck

clutch engaged while mowing is strongly

discouraged. Turning the ROS "ON", to al-

low reverse operation with the deck clutch

engaged, should only be done when the

operator decides it is necessary to reposi-

tion the machine with the attachment

engaged. Do not mow in reverse unless

absolutely necessary.
USING THE REVERSE OPERATION

SYSTEM -

Only use if you are certain no children or

other bystanders will enter the mowing

area.

2. With engine running, turn ignition key

counterclockwise to ROS "ON" posi-

tion.

3. Look down and behind before and

while backing.

4. Slowly move motion control lever to

reverse (R) position to start movement.

5. When use of the ROS is no longer

needed, turn the ignition key clockwise
