Warning
WARNING!

ALWAYS set the parking brake before performing any set-up, inspection, adjust-
ments, or maintenance to the Articulator!

ALWAYS release the parking brake before operating the Articulator!
The parking brake is located to the left of the operator seat, just in front of the left steering
control arm. To set the parking brake, grasp the handle and pull upward, increasing the
brake tension, until the tension prevents any further travel of the handle. The ratchet gear
will lock the handle into position.
To release the parking brake, pull upward on the handle to relieve the brake tension,
depress the button on the end of the handle, and slowly return the handle all the way
down to its original position.
Brake tension can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the knob at the end of the brake
handle.
