Emergency shifting

If a fault occurs which prevents the revers gear from
being operated (shifted) with the control lever, it is
possible to shift manually, using the description be-
low.
Note. The descriptions refer to electrically shifted
revers gear.
WARNING! In emergency shifting, the unit is
locked in forwards operation. Please note that
the revers gear can not then be disengaged
with the control lever. Forward motion can only
be cut off by stopping the engine with the igni-
tion key or stop button.
1. Stop the engine and remove the start key from
the key switch.
. Note the valve (P or S) to which the cable marked
"Primary" is connected. Then undo the connec-
tors (1 and ) from the solenoid valves.
3. Remove the cap nut from the valve which was
connected to the "Primary" cable.
4. Press the valve (A) on the valve.
5. Turn the button a 1/ turn anti-clockwise (the
button is forced out by spring action). The reverse
gear is now connected for forward motion and
cannot be disengaged by the control lever.
