Service Brake
Service braking is achieved by the hydraulic transmission
system. When the forward or reverse travel pedals are
released or the engine speed is reduced, service braking
becomes effective and travel speed is automatically reduced.
To increase the braking effect, push the transmission pedal
into the N
EUTRAL
position. Service braking is effective on
the front wheels only.
DANGER
The service braking system does not hold the
mower at a standstill and could cause severe injury
or death.
Always ensure that the parking brake is engaged to
park the mower at a standstill.
Emergency Brake
In the event of service brake failure, turn the ignition off to
bring the mower to a standstill.
DANGER
This machine is equipped with an emergency
braking system which can cause ejection, serious
injury, paralysis, or even death.
Use caution when using the emergency braking
system, remain seated, and hold on to the steering
wheel.
Throttle Control
Operate the throttle control in a forward direction to increase
the engine speed. Operate the throttle control in a rearward
direction to reduce engine speed (
Note:
The engine speed dictates the speed of the other
functions, i.e., travel, flail-rotor rotation speed, and cutting
unit lift speed.
