Brakes
The brake is released by squeezing either or both
levers. The handle on the left hand side will release the
brake when the drive control lever is engaged.
See Figure 3.9.
The handle on the right side is the deck engagement
lever. It will release the brake when it is pressed down,
allowing the mower to cut without the transmission
being engaged. See Figure 3.10.
As a safety feature, when both control levers are
released the brakes will be applied.
NOTE: Because the brake is on an intermediate
shaft in the transaxle, there will still be differen-
tial action. The mower will pivot when the brakes
are applied, but it will not roll,
