1. Parking brake must be engaged.
2. Operator must be present in seat.
3. Transmission control switch must be in NEUTRAL position.
4. Left joystick must be aligned with front wheels.
5. Operator disengages parking brake.

not respond. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury of death to personnel.

is stopped and parking brake is not already engaged.

ing brake will disengage and allow operator to regain operational control.
