3. To stop or slow down the tractor, take your foot off of the
forward or reverse drive pedal. To lock the parking brake,
pull the lever fully rearward and to the right; then into the
short"J" slot to engage the brake. Pull the lever up out
of the "J" slot and to the left; then completely forward to
disengage the parking brake.
NOTE:The forward and reverse pedals must not be used when
the brake is partially engaged. When the brake is locked in the
"J" the drive belt is disengaged but if the brake is only part way
back then the brakes are engaged but so is the drive belt so
transmission damage will occur if you push forward or reverse.
4. To travel in REVERSE, check that the area behind is clear
then slowly reverse pedal with the ball of your foot (NOT
your heel) until the desired speed is achieved. See Fig. 5-2.

direction of travel when the tractor is in motion.
