PARKING BRAKE SWITCH

WARNING: To prevent accidents due to running away
of the machine, after parking the machine or before
leaving the machine, be sure to apply the parking
brake. Never apply the parking brake while traveling
the machine. Failure to do so may cause sudden de-
celeration of the machine travel speed, possibly cre-
ating a dangerous situation. Apply the parking brake
only after the machine has stopped.
When parking brake switch (1) is turned ON, the parking brake
is applied, lighting parking brake indicator (2). When releasing
the parking brake, turn the switch OFF.
NOTE: • The parking brake is released by hydraulic pressure
only when the engine is running.
• To ensure safe operation, when the parking brake is
applied, even though the forward/reverse selector
lever is moved to forward (F) or reverse (R) position,
the machine does not travel.
• To ensure safe operation, when the engine is
stopped, the parking brake is applied even if parking
brake switch (1) is in the OFF position. Before starting
the engine, check that the forward/reverse selector
lever and forward/reverse selector switch (3) are in
the OFF position. Then, turn the parking brake switch
(1) ON.
