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.

When parking, stop the engine and shift the drive
select lever into the neutral position. Apply the
parking brake to help prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing.
EVU01420
Parking on a slope
WARNING
Avoid parking on hills or other inclines. Park-
ing on a hill or other incline could cause the ve-
hicle to roll out of control, increasing the
chance of an accident. If you must park on an
incline, apply the parking brake, and block the
front and rear wheels with rocks or other ob-
jects.
Do not park the vehicle at all on hills that are so
steep you could not walk up them easily.

1. Bring the vehicle to a stop by applying the
brakes.
2. Stop the engine.
3. With the brakes applied, set the parking
brake.NOTE:Like many other vehicles, the parking brake acts
on the rear wheels. For the parking brake to have
the effect of braking all four wheels, shift to 4WD
before stopping the engine.
