LT-5 LAWN TRACTOR (TROY-BILT MODEL

SHOWN)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Model used in the Service Manual - 13AN779G766

17.5 hp Briggs & Stratton engine - 42” cutting deck

• RMC - “Reverse Mowing Control” technology

• Greaseable Spindles.

• Square Shoulder Tires.

• Wider tires 15X6 and 20X8 .

• 18” Turning Radius

RMC - “REVERSE MOWING CONTROL”

The operator can choose to over-ride our “No Cut In

Reverse” safety system.

The revised ANSI Standard B71.1 taking effect Sep-

tember 1, 2004 states:

“A means shall be provided that prevents reverse drive

operation at a ground speed greater than 1 ft./sec.with

powered blade(s).

An override capability may be provided to permit

reverse drive with powered blades temporarily. If an

override capability is provided, it shall automatically

reset when one or more of the following actions occurs:

The blade(s) is (are) re-engaged or (2) the engine is

restarted or (3) the directional control is moved from

reverse.”

How It Works:

• Operator turns the key from the run position #3

to position #2. See Figure 1.

• Presses RMC button.

• Light indicator gives visual confirmation to the

operator.

Operator may mow in forward or reverse until:

• Leaves the tractor seat.

• Turns the key back to right (position #3).

• Turns the engine off (position #1).

Incorporated on 2005 LT-5 and RT99.
