Shifting gear - general
Caution!
When shifting gear, especially on a slope, it is essential to engage the parking brake before each
gear change – place the lever in the brake position: see below. Only then should the desired gear
be selected. If you shift gear without engaging the parking brake it is possible for the machine to
roll away.
Follow the procedure below:
•
Pull the clutch lever up
•
Engage the parking brake (left-hand steering shaft)
•
Select the gear
•
Slowly release the parking brake and at the same time release the clutch (similar to driving
a car).
