The instruction manual says “Your unit has a single clutch/brake pedal that operates both the clutch for changing gears and the brake. Fully depress the clutch/brake pedal to stop your unit.”
Indeed, your machine seems to be operating the wrong way around!
The transmission belt goes past a pulley that’s connected to the pedal. Is the belt the correct side of the pulley?
I’ll add a photo from the parts catalogue.
