Parking Brake
The parking brake functions by locking a detent
arm to a cog in the hydraulic motor rotor. Moving
the lever
FOR WARD 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
posi tion 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.
