Braking
Release the drive pedals. The machine slows and is stopped by the drive system. Do not use the parking brake as the drive brake.
Quicker braking is possible if you press down the drive pedal for the opposite direction.
Cutting the engine
If the engine has been worked hard, it is preferable to let the engine idle for a minute so it is running at its normal working temperature when it is stopped.
1.Switch off the cutting unit if it is running.
2.Lift the cutting unit using the lifting lever.
3.Move the throttle control to the “MIN” position. Turn the ignition key to “OFF”.
4.Apply the parking brake, when the machine is stationary, by first pulling up the lock handle (36) on the control panel and then press down the parking brake pedal (3).
