Features & Controls
Throttle Control
The throttle controls engine speed. Move the throttle for-
ward to increase engine speed and back to decrease
engine speed. Always operate at FULL throttle.
Choke
Close the choke for cold starting. Open the choke once
the engine starts. A warm engine may not require chok-
ing. Move the lever forward to close the choke.
Headlights
The light switch turns the tractor headlights on and off.
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 or operate another
attachment in reverse, turn the RMO key after the PTO is
engaged. The L.E.D. light will illuminate, and the opera-
tor can then mow in reverse. Each time the PTO is dis-
engaged the RMO needs to be reactivated if desired.
Control Functions
The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Starting, stopping, driving, and mowing
require the combined use of several controls applied in specific sequences. To learn what combination and sequence
of controls to use for various tasks see the OPERATION section.
