your engine.
1. Move the throttle control lever to the FAST position.

the operator should leave the seat without disengaging the
PTO, the tractor's engine will shut off.

in the reverse direction without the use of the REVERSE
CAUTION MODE. See REVERSE CAUTION MODE section.
Mowing
To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury,
keep bystanders, helpers, children, and pets at least
75' (23 meters) from the machine while it is in operation.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Make certain the area to be mowed is free of debris,
sticks, stones, wire, or other objects that can be thrown
by the rotating blades.
Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of materials
toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders, and the like. Also,
avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction
which may cause discharged material to ricochet back
toward the operator.
