CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ If the neutral lock/park brake latches are not completely
engaged the drive levers could unexpectedly slip into the
forward drive position.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ If the drive levers slip into the drive position, the unit could lurch
forward and cause injury or property damage.
