Lower the parking brake lever to the DISENGAGED position.Note: The parking brake has an interlock switch in order to prevent the machine from being driven through the brake.

The parking brake also functions as a secondary brake. The parking brake must be used to bring the machine to a stop only if the service brakes fail to stop the machine. If the parking brake has been used as a secondary brake, do not move or operate the machine until the service brake system has been checked and any necessary repairs have been completed.Note: The parking brake operates on the front axle only.
