Testing Reverse Implement Option (RIO)

1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2. Start engine.

3. Engage attachment engagement switch or lever to start attachment.

4. Avoid injury! 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.

   Look behind the vehicle to be sure there are no bystanders.

5. Begin reverse travel by depressing reverse pedal for hydrostatic transmission or moving the transmission shift lever to the rear slot (reverse) position for automatic transmission and depressing pedal.
