TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 11)
Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly
off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in
operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in prop-
er position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.
NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface.
Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See “TO AD-
JUST MOWER CUT TING HEIGHT” in the Operation
sec tion of this manual).
With mower in desired height of cut po si tion, gauge
wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off
the ground. In stall gauge wheel in appropriate hole
with shoulder bolt, 3/8 washer, and 3/8-16 locknut and
tighten se cure ly.

REVERSE OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS)
Your tractor is equipped with a Reverse Operation System
(ROS). Any attempt by the operator to travel in the reverse
direction 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 attachment clutch en-
gaged 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 (See Fig. X)
Only use if you are certain no children or other bystanders
will enter the mowing area.
Move motion control lever to neutral (N) position.
With engine running, turn ignition key counterclockwise
to ROS "ON" position.
Look down and behind before and while backing.
Slowly move motion control lever to reverse (R) po si-
tion to start movement.
When use of the ROS is no longer needed, turn the
ignition key clockwise to engine "ON" position.
