8. Parking brake lever
This lever is used to set the brake when the riding mower is parked. Pull the
lever fully up until the ratchet locks.
NOTE: The parking brake lever does not operate the automatic clutch.
Always put the transmission in neutral, or turn off the engine switch before
setting the parking brake. A steady warning buzzer will sound if the parking
brake is engaged while the transmission is in gear and the engine switch is
ON.
CAUTION:
l When washing the riding mower, do not allow water to get into the warn-
ing buzzer holes.
l Never park the riding mower on a slope.
To release, pull the lever up slightly and press the lever set button, lower the
lever while holding the button in.
E8Nm Operating the riding mower with the parking brake set will result
in severe damage to the brake lining, and could lead to a complete brake
system failure.
