will kill the engine if either the transmission shift lever is not in the neutral position or the PTO is engaged. See Figures 1 and 2.
3.1.3Drive Levers:
Located on each side of the upper handle assembly directly below the handle grips. See Figures 1 and 2. These levers individually control clutching action of the wheel drive belts and brakes. When the drive levers are all the way down, the brakes disengage and the wheel drive belts engage.
Gradually squeezing the left or right hand drive lever disengages the wheel drive belts, causing the left hand or right hand wheel to slow down until they reach neutral or stop. This makes the machine urn to the left or right respectively. Squeezing further engages the park brakes. The sharpness of the turn varies by how much the lever is squeezed. For straight ahead motion, smoothly release both drive levers to engage both drive wheels simultaneously.
3.1.4Neutral Lock/Park Brake Latches:
The latches allow the operator to lock the drive levers in a "neutral" position where neither the wheel drive belts nor the brakes engage or in a “park brake” position where the wheel drive belts are not engaged and the park brake is engaged. See Figures 1 and 2.
Apply parking brakes whenever leaving the operators position.
