Using the REVERSE CAUTION
MODE key position
The REVERSE CAUTION MODE
position of the key switch module allows
the machine to be operated in reverse
with the blades (PTO) engaged.
IMPORTANT: Mowing in reverse is
not recommended.
Use extreme caution while
operating the tractor in the
“Reverse Caution Mode”.
Always look down and
behind before and while
backing. Do not operate the
tractor when children or oth-
ers are around. Stop the
tractor immediately if some-
one enters the area.

3. Depress the REVERSE PUSH
BUTTON (Orange/Triangular
Button) at the top/right corner of
the key switch module. The red
indicator light at the top/left corner
of the key switch module will be
“ON” while activated. Refer to

4. Once activated (indicator light
“ON”), the tractor can be driven in
reverse with the cutting blades
(PTO) engaged.
5. Always look down and behind
before and while backing to make
sure no children are around.
6. After resuming forward motion,
return the key to the NORMAL
