General instructions regarding the parking brake
The parking brake is located to the right of the control lever base.
A starting interlock prevents the machine from starting even with the parking brake slightly
applied.
The driving direction can only be selected if the parking brake is completely
released.
Applying the parking brake automatically cancels the selection of the forwards/
reverse driving direction (drive) and switches the drive to neutral.
