Operate Reverse Implement Option (RIO)

CAUTION: Rotating blades are dangerous. Children or bystanders may be injured by runover and rotating blades.

Before backing up, carefully check the area around the machine.

NOTE: NOTE: Backing up while mower is engaged is discouraged. Only use the reverse implement option when operating another attachment or when the operator deems it necessary to reposition machine with mower engaged.

1. Stop machine forward travel with attachment engaged.

2. Look behind the machine to be sure that there are no bystanders.

3. NOTE: If attachment stops while repositioning the machine, return the PTO/RIO switch to the off position. Begin again with Step 2 in procedure. If the reverse pedal is depressed without engaging the PTO/RIO switch, “rIo” is displayed in the information display and the engine shuts down.
