INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 1 - REVERSING GEAR-GEARSHIFT LEVER DANGER Since no mechanical connection is provided between the gearshift and the engine, if the machine is parked on a slope it can move freely even with engaged gears; for this reason, always apply the parking brake, in order to avoid any damage. Disconnect the connector of the reversing gear-gearshift lever unit before carrying out electric welding operations on the machine. Non-compliance with this rule may even result in deadly accidents, since the gear storage and the gear and direction selection microcircuits may be irreparably damaged.
74 IMPORTANT 3 2 FWD N • The engine can be started only with the gearshift lever in neutral position (N). This is a combined control that serves either to shift gears and to reverse. The gears are engaged by means of the push buttons UP (2) and DOWN (3), while the travelling direction is selected by means of the lever (1). The normal control of the gearshift is ensured by the semiauto- matic system (SA), with possibility to select the automatic sys- tem (AU). This control is provided with a safety code to prevent theft. REV 1 +- RWA12430 REV 1 +- RWA12430
