Note to viewer: The distributor has assured me in writing that they've "since upgraded (the) machine so they have a brake valve" to prevent a situation like this from reoccurring. I've also been assured that drive motors with the appropriate brake valve will be provided to replace the current units. (20240119)

It’s the questions we don’t ask that get us into trouble.
Safety Alert: On a machine with no traditional braking system there needs to be severe warnings to prevent anyone else from getting into this situation.
