OPERATING THE MOWER

1.27

BRAKING SYSTEM

Parking Brake : Move the parking brake lever to its rear position to engage

the parking brake. Do not operate the mower with the parking brake engaged.

WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The parking brake operates on the

front wheels only. Do not park the mower on a slope.

Service brakes : Service braking is achieved by the hydraulic transmission system. When the forward

or reverse travel pedals are released or the engine speed reduced, service braking becomes effective and

travel speed is automatically reduced. To increase the braking effect, push the transmission pedals into

the neutral position.

WARNING : PREVENT ACCIDENTS - The service braking system will not hold the mower at a

standstill. ALWAYS ensure the parking brake is engaged to park the mower at a standstill.

Emergency Braking : In the event of service brake failure, switch off the

ignition to bring the mower to a standstill.

WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Take care when operating the brak-

ing system. Remain seated and hold on to the steering wheel to prevent ejection from the mower

caused by the front wheel brakes being applied suddenly when travelling.

THROTTLE CONTROL

Operate the throttle control in a forward direction to increase engine speed.

Operate the throttle control in a rearward direction to reduce engine speed.

Note that the engine speed dictates the speed of the other functions, i.e. travel,

cutting cylinder, position controls.

TRAVEL

Forward travel: Depress the forward travel pedal to increase forward travel

speed. Release the pedal to reduce speed.

Reverse travel: Depress the reverse travel pedal to increase reverse travel

speed. Release the pedal to reduce speed.

Stop (Neutral): Release the forward and reverse travel pedals.
