Braking System

Parking Brake
Move the parking brake switch to the rearward position by
pressing the smaller locking button and moving the switch
forward to engage the parking brake
Note: Do not operate the machine with the parking brake
engaged and do not engage the parking brake while the
machine is moving.
This light illuminates when the parking brake is engaged and
the ignition key is turned to position I.
WARNING
The parking brake operates on the front wheels
only. Do not park the machine on a slope.
Service Brake
Service braking is achieved by the hydraulic transmission
system. When the forward or reverse travel pedals are
released or the engine speed reduced, service braking
becomes effective and travel speed is automatically reduced.
To increase the braking effect, push the transmission pedal

into the neutral position. Service braking is effective on the
front wheels only.
WARNING
The service braking system is not able to hold the
mower at a standstill. Always ensure the parking
brake is engaged to park the mower at a standstill.
Emergency Brake
In the event of service brake failure, turn the ignition off to
bring the mower to a stand still.
WARNING
Take care when using the emergency braking.
Remain seated and hold on to the steering wheel
to prevent ejection from the mower caused by the
front wheel brakes being applied suddenly when
traveling.

Throttle Control

Operate the throttle control in a forward direction to increase
the engine speed. Operate the throttle control in a rearward
direction to reduce engine speed
Note: The engine speed dictates the speed of the other
functions, i.e. travel, cutting cylinder rotation speed and
cutting unit lift speed.

Travel Pedals

Forward travel: Press the forward travel pedal to increase
forward travel speed. Release the pedal to reduce speed
(Figure 4).
Reverse travel: Press the reverse travel pedal to increase
reverse travel speed. Release the pedal to reduce speed
(Figure 4).
Stop (Neutral): Release the forward or reverse travel pedal.
Work/Transport Mode

traction conditions when you need maximum tractive
performance (Figure 3). Selecting W

traction condition (i.e., when traveling on public highway or
mowing large, level, open areas). Selecting T
in these conditions will reduce transmission system wear and
tear.
Note: The differential lock is not available for use when the
T mode is selected.
