132 OPERATION
To release the work brake and place the automatic transmission back into
the previously selected forward gear:
1. Apply the foot brake.
2. Lift and rotate the work brake lever counterclockwise (toward the
windshield).
3. Lower the lever into the locked (released) position.
Note: Engine speed must be below 900 rpm.
Note: When the work brake is applied, the transmission is automatically shifted
into NEUTRAL, although the transmission shift selector still indicates flashing "2"
gear. Releasing the work brake causes the transmission to shift back into forward
gear. If, however, engine speed is above 900 rpm when the work brake is released,
the transmission will remain in NEUTRAL but the shift selector will still flash "2"
gear. It is then necessary to manually move the shift selector into NEUTRAL, then
back into "2" gear to proceed.
Work Brake Application from a Reverse Gear
Note: When applying the work brake with the transmission in a reverse gear, shifting
out of NEUTRAL is not automatic and must be done manually.
To apply the work brake:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop with the foot brake.
2. Lift and rotate the work brake lever clockwise (toward the driver).
3. Lower the lever into the locked (applied) position.
To release the work brake:
1. Apply the foot brake.
2. Lift and rotate the work brake lever counterclockwise (toward the
windshield).
3. Lower the lever into the locked (released) position.
4. Place the transmission into gear.
