PARKING BRAKE LEVER
IMPORTANT
Always set the parking brake
when stopping the tractor. DO not
depend on the engine to keep the
tractor from moving.
NOTE: If the Hi-Lo shifter is left in
the “LOW” position, it is possible
and normal that the tractor might
still roll without the brake applied.
Do not leave the tractor until it has
come to a complete stop and the
parking brake has been set.
If parking on a slope is necessary,
always set the brake and chock
the wheels.
To avoid fire, do not park a hot
tractor on or near combustible
materials such as straw or dry
grass.
