need info on new mower

I just bought a new LT2000 and everytime I put in reverse with blades engaged it cuts off:frown:. My old(my 5 year old mower) craftsman had a selection on the ignition switch to prevent this. Is there a way to bypass this?

Some tractors have a button you must press. I am not familiar with your machine. There should be some information in your owners manual.
