Service Brakes (Fig. 7 )—The left and right brake
pedals are connected to the left and right front
wheels. Since both brakes work independently of
each other, the brakes can be used to turn sharply or
to increase traction if one wheel tends to slip while
operating on certain slope conditions. However, wet
grass or soft turf could be damaged when the brakes
are used to turn sharply. To make a “quick-stop”,
depress both brake pedals together. Always lock the
brakes together when transporting the traction unit.

Parking Brake—Whenever the engine is shut off,
the parking brake must be engaged to prevent acci-
dental movement. To engage the parking brake, push
lock arm (Fig. 8) on left brake pedal so that it locks
together with the right pedal. Next, push down fully
on both pedals and pull the parking brake knob out
(Fig. 8) then release the pedals. To release the park-
ing brake, depress both pedals until the parking
brake knob retracts. Before starting the engine, how-
ever, the lock arm may be disengaged from the left
brake pedal so both pedals work independently with
each front wheel.
Amp Light (Fig. 9)—The amp light should be off
when the engine is running. If it is on, the charging
system should be checked and repaired if necessary.
Hour Meter (Fig. 9)—Accumulated engine operat-
ing time registers on the hour meter.

Temperature Gauge and High Temperature Light
(Fig. 9)—The coolant temperature gauge registers
the coolant temperature in the system. If the temper-
ature gets too high, the engine will automatically
shut off and the High Temperature shutoff light will
light. When this happens, turn the ignition key off,
check the radiator for debris, check the fan belt and
check the expansion tank for proper coolant level.
The high temperature shutoff will automatically reset
when the coolant temperature has reached a safe
level.
