1) When parking brake is set in Free position • When the parking brake is released, both intermediate switch and bottom switch  are closed.
• The parking brake pilot lamp goes off regardless of the state of the parking
brake. Parking brake reminder caution lamp lights up and the alarm buzzer sounds only when the engine is stopped.
• Then, the HST controller power hold relay operates and the current flows in the HST controller to hold the operation of the motor solenoid and clutch solenoid and prevent the machine from moving down on a slope, etc.

• If the parking brake lever is pulled a little, bottom switch  is opened but the contacts of the parking brake relay are kept closed.
• The parking brake pilot lamp and parking brake reminder caution lamp operate as in step 1).
• The parking brake is kept released.

• Since the current to the coil of the parking brake drag prevention relay is cut out, the forward-reverse solenoid circuit is opened. Accordingly, the machine does not move forward or in reverse even if the directional lever or the directional selector switch is operated.
• The parking brake pilot lamp lights up only while the starting switch is in the ON position and goes off regardless of the state of the parking brake reminder caution lamp.
