Oil Pressure Warning Horn
The oil pressure warning horn indicates that engine
oil pressure is below the safe operating level
[below 3 to 5 PSI (21 to 34 kPa)]. The
horn
is
located inside the chassis as shown in
photo. This horn will sound when
the ignition is turned
ON,
but should go off after the
engine is started. If the horn fails to sound when
the ignition switch is turned
ON,
it could indicate a
horn failure. If the horn sounds during engine
operation, stop the engine immediately and correct
the source of the problem before further engine
operation.
IMPORTANT:
Continued operation of the engine
with a low oil pressure condition
WILL
cause
severe engine damage.

Parking Brake
The parking brake functions by locking a detent
arm to a cog in the hydraulic motor rotor. Moving
the lever
FORWARD engages
the parking brake;
moving the lever
BACKWARD releases
the brake.
IMPORTANT:
Stop the tractor completely before
engaging the parking brake. The parking brake
uses a positive mechanical lock similar to the
PARK
position on an automotive automatic trans-
mission. If the tractor is moving when the brake is
engaged, it will result in sudden stoppage and
possible internal damage to the transaxle.
NOTE:
If pressure on the parking brake (e.g.,
parked on a hill) makes it impossible to release the
parking brake with the parking brake lever, move
the mower gently forward or backward to allow the
brake detent to release.
