4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE

To start the engine, lock the Motorstop n.1 fig.1 in its fully lowered position, pull
in the clutch lever C fig.2 and insert retainer A under the lever so that the clutch
is kept disengaged. This locks the two levers in position to prevent starting the
engine with a gear engaged.
Start the engine following the instructions given in the engine Operating and
Maintenance Manual.
Check to be sure that the gear lever n.7 fig.1 and the PTO lever n.4 fig.1, are in
neutral.
Pull in the clutch lever again to disengage the retainer A so that both the
Motorstop and the clutch lever are operative.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Release the Motorstop lever 1 fig.1.
The Motorstop is a safety device that prevents the machine running
away if the operator loses control.

4.2 ENGAGING THE GEARS

The rotovator has six gears (4 forward and 2 reverse Reverse = RM).
Gear are selected with lever n.7 fig.1.
Lever n.5 controls the low range-reverse (V=Fast, L=Low, RM=Reverse)
Lever n.7 controls gear selection in two positions 1-3 and 2-4, as illustrated in
this table:
