The hand break is very stiff to operate and it does not stop the S1500H from rolling on slight incline

The hand brake on the Westwood S150H could be stiff and ineffective due to lack of routine maintenance, such as infrequent lubrication or adjustment. It may also be affected by wear in the brake components or buildup of debris around the mechanism. Regular servicing, as outlined in scheduled service intervals, is necessary to maintain proper brake function.

If you cannot push your Westwood S150H tractor, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the machine is on a flat, even surface.
2. Release the parking brake by moving lever 'C' (Neutral Valve) forward.
3. Locate the Neutral Valve near the towing bracket on the back plate.
4. Pull out the Neutral Valve lever to engage it.
5. You can now push the tractor at a speed not exceeding 2 mph.
6. Before starting the tractor, push the Neutral Valve lever back to disengage it.
