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 is
reduced, service braking becomes effective and travel
speed is automatically reduced. To increase the
braking effect, push the transmission pedal into the
N position. Service braking is effective on the
EUTRAL
front wheels only.
DANGER
The service braking system does not hold the
mower at a standstill.
Always ensure that 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 standstill.
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
(Figure 8).
Note:
The engine speed dictates the speed of the
other functions, i.e., travel, flail-rotor rotation speed,
and cutting unit lift speed.

Travel
Forward travel: Press the forward travel pedal to
increase forward travel speed. Release the pedal to
reduce speed (Figure
Reverse travel: Press the reverse travel pedal to

Stop (Neutral): To stop the machine, use 1 of the
following procedures:
•
Reduce your foot pressure on the traction pedal
and allow it to return to the neutral position. The
machine dynamically brakes to a smooth stop.
•
Tap or hold the reverse pedal briefly. This stops
the machine faster than dynamic braking.
