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; mov
ing 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 transmission.
If the tractor is moving when the brake is engaged,
it will result in sudden stoppage and possible inter
nal 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.
