CHANGING THE DRIVING DIRECTION
• Careless changes of the driving direction may cause se-
vere accidents!
Before you change the driving direction from forward to
reverse driving or vice versa, you must make sure that no
persons or obstacles are in your way.
• The engine may be damaged if you are driving at a high
speed and then change abruptly from forward to reverse
driving or vice versa!
Brake until the machine has nearly come to a standstill
before you change the driving direction.
The drive direction switch is used to switch between forward and
reverse gear or vice versa. The machine may still roll, if you
change the driving direction.
Position 'F' Driving forward
Position 'N' Neutral
Position 'R' Reversing
