I cannot confirm if they changed anything, but if the user manual says to do it, I would do it.

Last year, and the year before, I just removed the jumpers because that is what I remembered doing in 2005, but this year while reading the user manual, I found that it said specifically to not run without a jumper installed, so I think we left the jumpers on, and set to brake.

If I remember correctly, in 2005, if you would put the jumper on brake, it would only brake it in one direction, if you removed it, it would brake it in the other direction, but I cannot confirm this.
