Operating Instructions

Parking Brake

The parking brake functions by locking a detent arm to a cog inside the transaxle. Moving the lever FOR- WARD engages the parking brake; moving the le- ver BACKWARD releases the brake.

IMPORTANT: Stop the tractor completely before 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 transaxle.

NOTE: If pressure on the parking brake (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 allow the brake detent to release.

Transaxle Lockout Arms

The transaxle lockout arms disengage the transax- les. By lifting the arms up and locking them into place with the shoulder on the arm in the chassis notch, the transaxles are released to permit free- wheeling. By releasing the arms and recessing them back toward the chassis, the transaxles are engaged for normal operation. The transaxle arms in the LOCKOUT position are used to enable mov- ing the machine without the engine running (e.g., for service). Refer to TRANSAXLE LOCKOUTS in this section for operating instructions.

NOTE: The transaxle lockout arms ends should be completely retracted against the chassis, otherwise operation of the transaxle may be erratic.
