Parking Brake; Transmission Lockout Levers - Walker T27i Operator's Manual

Operating Instructions

Parking Brake

The parking brake functions by locking a pin into the
hydrostatic transmission pinion gear teeth. Moving
the lever FORWARD engages the parking brake;
moving the lever BACKWARD releases the brake.
IMPORTANT:
engaging the parking brake. The parking brake
uses a positive mechanical lock similar to the PARK
position on an automotive automatic transmission.
If the tractor is moving when the brake is engaged,
it will result in sudden stoppage and possible inter-
nal damage to the axle drive.
NOTE: If pressure on the parking brake pin (e.g.
parked on a hill) makes it impossible to release the
parking brake with the parking brake lever, move the
mower gently forward or backward to release the
pin.

Transmission Lockout Levers

The transmission lockout levers disengage the hy-
drostatic transmissions. By lifting the lever on top
of the transmission and locking it into place with the
lockout cam, the hydrostatic transmissions are re-
leased to permit freewheeling. By releasing the cam
and lowering the lever, the transmissions are en-
gaged for normal operation. The transmission lever
in the LOCKOUT position is used to enable moving
the machine without the engine running (e.g., for
service). Refer to TRANSMISSION LOCKOUT in
this section for operating instructions.
