I just bought the L100 John Deere Lawn Tractor and the manual isn't the best
(IMHO).
Can anyone here explain what the PTO lever does exactly? The manual talks
about engaging it and disengaging it without really explaining what it is.

PTO = power take-off, for running external accessories using power from the
tractor's engine.

Same for the RIO button.

No idea.
