My Craftsman mower has the capability of mowing in reverse. It uses the key switch, that seems to be universal across all brands, that has the reverse mow position and the triangle button to push. What I have been doing is mowing in forward position with the key in the "forward" position. When I need to mow in reverse I move the key to the "reverse" position and press the triangle button. When I a m done backing up I move the key back to the "forward" position. Today I mowed and tried to mow forward while the key is in the "reverse" position and it mowed normally. So in essence I put the mower in the reverse position and pressed the triangle button one time but reverse mowed multiple times.
Is there any good logical reason that I cannot begin mowing, place the key in the reverse position, press the triangle button, and leave it like this during the duration of my mowing? Then all I have to do is operate the foot pedals without having to play with the key. Please advise
