4. PARKING BRAKE
Lever for operating the mechanical parking brake.
Depress the freewheel clutch pedal fully.
Move the parking brake to the right and
then release the pedal.
The parking brake is released by pressing the free-
wheel clutch pedal lightly. The spring-loaded
brake lever then moves automatically to the side.
5. POWER TAKE - OFF (IN)
A lever for engaging the power take-off for driving
front-mounted accessories. There are two posi-
tions:
1. Lever in lower position - power take-off
disengaged.
2. Lever in upper position - power take-off
engaged. The lever is locked in this posi-
tion if a person weighing more than 30 kg
is sitting on the seat.
6. POWER TAKE - OFF (OUT)
A spring-loaded lever for disengaging the power
take-off.
Press the button to disengage the power
take-off.
7. SEAT SUSPENSION
Rotary control for variable adjustment of the seat
suspension. Adjust to weight of driver.
1. Turning counter-clockwise -
suspension will become softer.
2. Turning clockwise - suspen-
sion will become harder.
If the suspension is tightened too hard it could
mean that the lever for engaging the power take-off
(5) cannot be locked in its upper position.
NOTE! To prevent a deterioration in mobility,
do not over tighten the screw joints in the seat
suspension.
8. GEAR LEVER (Classic - 2000 -
Senator)
A lever for selecting one of the five forward gears
in the gearbox (1-2-3-4-5), neutral (N), or reverse
(R).
When changing from neutral to forward or re-verse
the gear lever must be lifted upwards.
ENGLISH
The pedal must be kept depressed when changing
gear.
NOTE! You must make sure the machine is quite
stationary before changing from reverse to forward
gear or vice versa. If a gear does not engage imme-
diately, release the pedal and depress it again, and
then engage the gear once again. Never force a
gear in.
9. DRIVE LEVER/SERVICE BRAKE
(President)
Hand operated lever which controls the continu-
ously variable transmission. The lever has three
functions:
1. Drive
Controls the machine's direction of travel
and speed. Move the lever forward (F) -
the machine moves forward. The further
forward the lever is pushed, the faster the
machine moves.
Lever in the marked neutral position (N) -
the machine stands still. (If not, see "AD-
JUSTING THE NEUTRAL POSITION"
below).
Move the lever first outward and then
backward from the neutral position (R) -
the machine will reverse.
2. Cruise control
Inertia in the lever allows it to be released in any
position. The lever will not move and the machine
maintains the speed set. (Lever inertia can be ad-
justed, see "ADJUSTING THE DRIVE LEVER"
below).
3. Service brake.
To brake while the machine is in forward motion -
move the lever slowly back to the neutral position.
To brake while the machine is reversing - move the
lever slowly forward to the neutral position.
Do not use the foot pedal to brake while
in motion. The foot pedal disengages
the transmission, which means that
braking effect is lost completely.
10. DISENGAGEMENT LEVER
(President)
Lever for disengaging the continuously variable
transmission. Allows the machine to be moved by
