22. Speed change
lever
This lever engages drive
to the wheels and
changes the machine’s
forward and reverse
speed.
The machine’s forward
speed gradually increases
by moving the lever
towards «F». Reverse is
engaged by moving the
lever to «R». When the
brake pedal (21) is
pressed the lever automatically
returns to the
«N» (neutral) position.
It can also be moved
there manually even
without pressing the
brake.
IMPORTANT
When the parking brake (3) is engaged the speed change lever is locked in the «N»
position and cannot be moved until the parking brake and the pedal have been
released.
23. Lever to release the hydrostatic drive
This lever has two positions shown on the plate:
Position «A» = Drive engaged: for all operating conditions, when moving and during
cutting;
Position «B» = Drive released: considerably reduces the effort required for moving
the machine manually, when the engine is not running.
IMPORTANT To avoid damaging the transmission unit, this operation must
be carried out only when the engine has stopped with the lever (22) at position
«N».
