27OPERATING THE MOWER
Reference
A Set the position for a recommended ground clearance
of 19 mm (3/4 in.).
(Figure shows a setting position of cutting height 50 or
55 mm (2.0" or 2.25"))
OPERATING THE MOWER
To avoid serious injury or death:
A Do not operate the mower without the
discharge deflector being in place properly.
A This machine is equipped with the KRA (KUBOTA
Reverse Awareness) system.
This feature shuts down the engine if the operator
attempts reverse travel while any PTO driven
implement is engaged. The purpose of the KRA
system is to increase operator awareness of the risk of
back-over accidents. The KRA system incorporates an
override switch on the dash that allows the operator to
override the system and keep the PTO engaged
during reverse travel. KUBOTA strongly recommends
against overriding the KRA system, but if the operator
deems it absolutely necessary and safe to do so, he
may activate the override switch. The override switch
light flashes while activated as a reminder to the
operator that the PTO (i.e. mower, grass catcher,
snowblower, etc.) remains engaged during reverse
travel. The operator should return the KRA system to
normal operating mode as soon as possible by
momentarily disengaging the PTO.
