Mow Pedal
Depressing the mow pedal (Figure 12) fully during
operation lowers the cutting units and starts the reels.
The mow pedal will stay depressed due to the detent

does not need to hold the pedal down.
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal (Figure 12) actuates an automotive
drum-type mechanical brake at each traction wheel.
Lift Pedal
Depressing the lift pedal (Figure 12) during operation
stops the reels from turning and lifts the cutting units.
The lift pedal must be fully depressed until the cutting
units are fully raised and have stopped rotating.
