How do I safely engage the blades (PTO) on the T100?

Move the throttle control lever to the FAST (rabbit) position, then pivot the PTO lever all the way forward into the engaged (PTO ON) position. Keep the throttle lever in the FAST position for the most efficient use of the cutting deck. Note that the PTO lever must be in the disengaged (OFF) position when starting the engine and when traveling in reverse (on models without Reverse Caution Mode). (Page 19)
