OPERATING IN REVERSE GEAR
To run in reverse gear you need to turn the engine through
180° compared to the normal position.
When the engine is in reverse position, the motor’s lift is
automatically prevented by a mechanism.
Use the engine in the reverse position only in
manoeuvre operations and at low r.p.m.
