REMOVAL OF 3rd SPEED
PRESELECTION CONTROL LEVER
When front-mounted attachments are used, it is nec-
essary to remove the 3rd speed preselection control
lever from the machine. To do this, proceed as follows
(see fig. 17):
a.
Move the preselection control lever (1) to the fully
forward position.
b.
Release the spring clip (2), and slide the terminal
of the lever (1) out of the control pin (3).
Pull up-
ward.
CAUTION
The above operations cannot be carried out if the pre-
selection control lever (1) is not correctly positioned
(it is not pushed to the fully forward position) as inter-
ference with the locking pawl could result.
c.
Unscrew the knob (4) from the lever (1).
d.
Slide the lever (1) out of its housing on the han-
dlebar support (6).
CAUTION
The joint (5) between the lever (1) and its terminal
must not be disassembled. Keep the lever assembly
in a safe place for reuse when the machine is oper-
ated in two-wheel tractor version.
e.
When the machine is used again in two-wheel
tractor version (3rd speed available), reinstall the
preselection control lever assembly (1) by carrying
out the procedure described above in a reverse
order.
REVERSING THE HANDLEBARS
Rotate the handlebars through 180° to operate the
machine in the changed direction of motion.
Proceed as follows (see fig. 18):
a.
Remove pins (1) and (2) connecting the gear rod
(3) and the PTO control rod (4).
b.
Push lever (5) downward, and rotate the handle-
bars sideways through 180° in clockwise direction.
c.
Release lever (5), and lock the handlebars.
d.
Connect again the gear (3) and PTO (4) control
rods to the corresponding control levers and se-
cure with pins (1) and (2).
NOTE
While reversing the handlebars, make sure that the
cables do not become tangled or caught.
REVERSING THE WHEELS
Every time you use a front-mounted attachment, the
wheels must be interchanged to keep the tread pat-
tern pointing in the right direction.
Simply remove each wheel from its hub and install it
on the opposite hub.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates the cor-
rect direction of rotation.
