PARKING BRAKE

The parking brake system is a mechanically acti-

vated double disc brake system. The brake discs are

attached to the hydrostatic motor shafts, 1, with a

separate system located in each final drive case.

Both brake systems are activated by a single control

The parking brake control lever, 1, is located to the

right of the operator's seat. When the lever is in the

lower unlatched position, the brake is disengaged.

When the lever is in the raised latched position, the

brake is engaged.

When the parking brake is engaged and the hydro-

static control levers are stroked, the skid steer should

not move if the brake is adjusted properly.

The hydrostatic system is the primary brake for the

skid steer when the unit is in operation. The parking

brake system is used to hold the unit in place and pre-

vent rolling or creeping when parked.

The parking brake should always be engaged before

exiting the skid steer.

Always activate the parking brake before leaving

the operator station. Never operate the skid steer

unless the brake is released.
