WARNING:
 To prevent accidents due to rolling 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 the machine
is moving except in an emergency.
 Apply the parking brake only after the machine
has stopped.
 Failure to do so may cause sudden deceleration
of the machine travel speed, possibly creating
a dangerous situation. Also, premature wear
and/or damage to the parking brake may result.
After the parking brake has been applied in an
emergency while moving the machine, have the
parking brake checked at your nearest Kawasaki
dealer.
When parking brake switch (1) is turned ON, the parking
brake is applied; parking brake indicator (2) will be shown.
Press the OFF side of parking brake switch (1) to release the
parking brake. Check that parking brake indicator (2) goes
OFF by pressing the switch firmly clicks.

NOTE:
 The parking brake is released by hydraulic pressure only
when the engine is running.
 To ensure safe operation, the machine should not travel
when the parking brake is applied, even if forward/
reverse switch (3) of the joystick steering is set to the
forward (F) or reverse (R) position.
 To ensure safe operation, when the engine is stopped,
the parking brake is applied even if parking brake
switch (1) is in the OFF or released position.
Before restarting the engine, ensure the forward/reverse
switch (3) is in "neutral" position for safety.
 The parking brake will be applied when the key is
turned OFF.
