BRAKING SYSTEM
Parking Brake : Move the parking brake lever to its rear position to engage
the parking brake. Do not operate the mower with the parking brake engaged.
WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The parking brake operates on the
front wheels only. Do not park the mower on a slope.
Service brakes : 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 pedals into
the neutral position.
WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The service braking system will not hold the mower at a
standstill. ALWAYS ensure the parking brake is engaged to park the mower at a standstill.
Emergency Braking : In the event of service brake failure, switch off the
ignition to bring the mower to a standstill.
WARNING: PREVENTACCIDENTS - Take care when operating the brak-
ing system. 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 travelling.
THROTTLE CONTROL
Operate the throttle control in a forward direction to increase engine speed.
Operate the throttle control in a rearward direction to reduce engine speed.
Note that the engine speed dictates the speed of the other functions, i.e. travel,
cutting cylinder, position controls.
TRAVEL
Forward travel: Depress the forward travel pedal to increase forward travel
speed. Release the pedal to reduce speed.
Reverse travel: Depress the reverse travel pedal to increase reverse travel
speed. Release the pedal to reduce speed.
Stop (Neutral): Release the forward and reverse travel pedals.
