ROS "ON" Position

Engine "ON" Position
(Normal Operating)

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 attachment clutch engaged 
will shut off the engine unless ignition key 
is placed in the ROS "ON" position.

 WARNING:  Backing up with the at-

tachment clutch engaged while mowing 
is strongly discouraged. Turning the ROS 
"ON", to allow reverse operation with the 
attachment clutch engaged, should only 
be done when the operator decides it is 
necessary to reposition 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.
1.   Move motion control lever to neutral 

(N) position.

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) po si tion to start movement.

5.   When use of the ROS is no longer 

needed, turn the ignition key clockwise 
to engine "ON" position.

WARNING:  Do not drive up or down 

hills with slopes greater than 15° and do 
not drive across any slope. Use the slope 
guide provided at the back of this manual.
•   Choose the slowest speed  before start-

ing up or down hills.

•   Avoid stopping or changing speed on 

hills.

•   If stopping is absolutely necessary, push 

clutch/brake pedal quickly to brake posi-
tion and engage parking brake.

•   Move motion control lever to neutral (N) 

position.

IMPORTANT: The motion control lever 
does not return to neutral (N) position 
when the clutch/brake pedal is de pressed.
•   To restart movement, slowly re lease 

parking brake and clutch/brake ped al.

slowest setting.

TO TRANSPORT 
When pushing or towing your tractor, be

Freewheel control is located at the rear 
drawbar of tractor.

above procedure.

TO OPERATE MOWER

presence sensing switch.  Any attempt 
by the operator to leave the seat with the 
engine running and the attachment 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 equip-
