8.11 Brake pedal
The machine can be braked when driving 
and can be blocked at a standstill via the 
brake pedal.

The more firmly the brake pedal (1) is 
pressed, the more the rear wheels are 
braked.
8.12 Parking brake
The rear wheels of the machine 
are blocked by the engaged 
parking brake. This prevents the

inadvertently (e.g. on slopes, etc.).
Engaging the parking brake:
Press the brake pedal (1) down to the stop 
with the foot and hold.
Pull the parking brake lever (2) upwards.
● Release the brake pedal again. The 
parking brake is activated if the brake 
pedal remains in the pressed position.
● Release the parking brake lever. This 
swings downwards. The rear wheels 
are blocked.
Releasing the parking brake:
Briefly press on brake pedal (1) with the 
foot.
Note!
Both rear wheels are braked when 
the brake pedal is pressed. 
The brake only acts upon the two 
rear wheels. 
Warning!
Never operate the machine with a 
defective brake. 
Always have a defective brake 
repaired or adjusted by a specialist 
dealer.
STIHL recommends 
STIHL specialist dealers.
Never try to service the brakes 
yourself.
Note
Always check the function of the 
brakes before engaging the parking 
brake.
