Parking Brake Switch
The parking brake switch (1) is located on the dash to the 
left of the steering column and is pressed or “snapped” 
into a rectangular switch bezel. The parking brake switch 
must be ENGAGED to permit engine starting. 
Note: The parking brake may be used to stop in an 
EMERGENCY situation; however, notify the operator to 
use caution as the stop will be abrupt and the operator 
and the load may be jolted forward unexpectedly.
The parking brake switch is a two-position toggle switch; 
the two positions are ENGAGED (3) and 
DISENGAGED (4). 
The switch is marked with a symbol (5) on the lower 
portion of the switch. When ENGAGED, the parking 
brake switch completes the parking brake circuit, and the 
indicator (2) on the front dash panel illuminates. The 
parking brake solenoid (6) on the accumulator charge/
secondary function valve (7) is normally de-energized, 
allowing the parking brake to engage. When the parking 
brake solenoid is energized, the parking brake is 
DISENGAGED.
This system is designed so that, when electrical power is 
OFF, the parking brake is ENGAGED. (Refer to Section 
10, “Stabil-TRAK™ System,” page 10.10.)

1. Unlock and open the engine cover (8).
2. If the vehicle has dual batteries, disconnect both
negative battery cables (10 and 11) from both 
batteries.
To access the lower battery (12), loosen the 
knob (13) far enough so that the lip (14) on the upper 
battery box clears the knob. Lift up the upper battery 
box (15) and swing it out, so that the box clears the 
hydraulic tank support bracket, to gain access to the 
lower negative battery cable (10). Disconnect the 
lower negative battery cable.
