M. T URNING BRAKE LOCK
A CAUTION
Turning brake pedals should not be used
when mowing lawns. The wheel being
braked may skid and cause lawn damage.
Turning brake pedals should be locked
together.
Hl^ NOTE
Turning brake pedals must be latched
together when operating the tractor in trans¬
port speeds.
The turning brake lock is located in the top edge of the
outside turning brake pedal (see Figure 6) and is used
to lock the two turning brake pedals together to pro¬
vide simultaneous braking to both rear wheels when
the turning brake pedals are depressed. To lock the
pedals together, pivot the lock and engage it in the slot
on the inside turning brake pedal. For individual brake
action, pivot the lock into the storage slot in the out¬
side turning brake pedal.
If the turning brake pedals are not locked together and
the single brake pedal is used, only the left rear tractor
wheel is slowed or stopped.
