The operator may then release the button and the mower
will continue to operate while they are backing up and also
when they resume forward operation. The next time the
operator chooses to keep the mower engaged while backing
up, they must repeat this procedure. If the mower (PTO) is
engaged and the operator shifts into reverse or depresses the
reverse pedal prior to pressing the RIO button, ignition to
the engine will be shut off. The engine will stop unless the
operator either pushes on the RIO switch or shifts out of
reverse.
If the engine does stop, the operator must return the mower
engagement (PTO) switch or lever to the “off” position,
depress the brake pedal, and then turn the ignition switch to
restart the engine.
FRAME
The L Series Lawn Tractor frame material is 12-gauge
(0.11-in., 3.0 mm) steel.
• Full-length robotically welded frame design with
high-strength steel rails for added strength and long
life.
• One-piece fender deck is bolted to the frame.
FRONT AXLE AND WHEEL SPINDLES
Front axle is constructed of cast iron.
• Automotive-like steering system with sector and pinion
steering gears with dual drag links provides a very
strong, low-effort, and tight turning system.
• Grease fittings allow regular lubrication to help main-
tain easy steering and minimize wear.
Large, 3/4-in. diameter wheel spindles provide excellent
durability.
THE EDGE™ CUTTING SYSTEM
The Edge Cutting System has been trademarked to empha-
size the advantages of the John Deere mower deck designs.

and 48-in. mower owner with superior mowing conve-
nience, performance, and reliability:
• Deep-deck mower design lifts grass for a clean, even
cut.
• Smooth underside of mower prevents grass buildup and
evenly disperses grass clippings.
• The rolled outer edge of the deck provides extra
strength and protection.
• Dual-stage E-coat and powder paint coatings provide
extra protection from rust.
