PARKING BRAKE (R) - Pull the parking brake lever up and back to put the parking brake ON. Push it forward and down to put the parking brake OFF.

The parking brake must be ON to start the engine. It must also be ON to keep the engine running if the operator leaves the seat. The parking brake must be OFF to keep the engine running when a traction lever is moved out of neutral lock.

PUSHING THE MACHINE

Hydrostat bypass valves (“dump valves”) on each hydrostatic pump allow the machine to be pushed or towed without the engine running. Raise the seat to gain access to these two valves V. Turn both valves counterclockwise 1 turn to release the hydrostatic system. Restore the hydrostatic system by turning the valves clockwise only until they re-seat. DO NOT overtighten.

Use caution if it is necessary to tow the machine. With the bypass valves open, the dynamic braking and steering provided by the hydrostats is disabled. Towing should be done only if a disabled machine cannot be repaired where it broke down.
