Parking brake lever 
The parking brake lever is located at the right side
of the driver’s seat. It will help hold the vehicle from
moving while parked. 
To set the parking brake, pull the lever up com-
pletely. 
To release the parking brake, pull up on the lever,
press the release button, and then push the lever
all the way down. Spring pressure helps return the
lever to the released position. 
Be sure to fully release the parking brake before
starting out. Failure to do so may result in poor per-
formance and premature wearing of the rear brake
and V-belt.
