(Translation of the Original Instructions)
The levers allow the user to move the machine
manually (pushing or pulling), without the engine
running. The two positions are:
1 Lever in - transmission engaged
for normal use. Locking of the lever
in this position is indicated by a
click.
2 Lever out - transmission disengaged. The
machine can be moved by hand.
The machine must not be towed over long distan-
ces or at high speeds. The transmission could be
damaged.

backwards and forwards to suit the driver.
To set the seat in the desired position:
• Slacken the knob (15:A) without using any
tools.
