Parking Brake
1. After stopping the machine, be sure to apply the
parking brake.
2. If you leave the operator’s seat with the PTO shaft
turning, the buzzer starts sounding.
3. Once the parking brake has been applied, the
machine sets itself in the 4-wheel drive mode. (This
helps the 4 wheels to increase their gripping force on
slopes.)
A When the key switch is turned off with no parking
brake applied, the warning buzzer sounds for around
10 seconds.
B Key Switch
The starter switch has 4 positions.

mph), the engine output boosts itself. When it drops below
