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 will not 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
travelling.

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 7).
Note: The engine speed dictates the speed of the other
functions, i.e. travel, cutting cylinder rotation speed and
cutterhead lift speed.
