BRAKING
Using the reserve brake
Normally you brake with the forward/reverse lever (1).
The hydrostatic transmission brakes the roller when
the lever is moved toward neutral. In addition there are
multi-disc brakes in the wheel motors that act as a
parking brake and are activated when the parking
brake (9) is applied.
To brake in an emergency, press the reserve
brake knob (3), hold the steering wheel
firmly and be prepared for a sudden stop.
After braking, restore the forward/reverse lever to
neutral and pull up the reserve brake knob.
Remember that when you start and drive a
cold machine, the hydraulic fluid is cold and
the braking distance will be longer than
normal until the machine reaches normal
working temperature.

Move the forward/reverse lever (19) to neutral to stop

ground.
Turn back the rev control to idling. Always let the
engine idle for a few minutes to cool down.
