BRAKING SYSTEM

Parking brake : Move the parking/emergency brake lever to its rear position to
engage the parking/emergency brake. Do not operate the mower with the park-
ing/emergency brake engaged.
WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The parking/emergency 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 trav-
el speed is automatically reduced. To increase the braking effect, push the transmission pedal into the neu-
tral position. Service braking is effective on all 3 wheels.
WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The service braking system will not hold the mower at a stand-
still. ALWAYS ensure the parking/emergency brake is engaged to park the mower at a standstill.
Emergency braking : In the event of service brake failure switch off the engine
with the ignition key. This will automatically engage the parking/emergency
brake and bring the mower to a standstill.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Take care when operating the emergency braking
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 the 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, cut-
ting cylinder, position controls.
