Service Brakes
The left and right brake pedals (Fig. 6) are connected
to the left and right front wheels. Since both brakes
work independently, the brakes can be used to turn
sharply or to increase traction if one wheel tends to
slip while operating on certain slope conditions.
However, wet grass or soft turf can be damaged when
brakes are used to turn sharply. To make a "quick-
stop", depress both brake pedals together. Always lock
the brakes together when transporting the traction
unit.

Parking Brake
1
Whenever the engine is shut off, the parking brake
must be engaged to prevent accidental movement of
the machine. To engage the parking brake, push the
lock arm (Fig. 7) on so that it locks together with the
right pedal. Next, push down fully on both pedals and
pull parking brake knob out (Fig. 6) then release the
pedals. To release the parking brake, depress both
pedals until the parking brake knob retracts. Before
starting the engine, however, the lock arm may be
disengaged from the left brake pedal so both pedals
work independently with each front wheel
