10. GEAR LEVER (Senator)
A lever for selecting one of the five forward gears
in the gearbox (1-2-3-4-5), neutral (N) or reverse
(R).
The clutch pedal must be kept pressed in 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 clutch pedal and then press it in
once again, then engage the gear once again. Never
force a gear in.
11. POWER TAKE-OFF (Senator -
President - Royal - Pro16)
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power
take-off for driving front-mounted accessories.
There are two positions:
1. Lever in forward position – power take-
off disengaged.
2. Lever in backward position - power
take-off engaged.
12. POWER TAKE-OFF (Pro18 -
Pro20)
Switch for engaging/disengaging the electromag-
netic power take-off for driving front-mounted ac-
cessories. There are two positions:
1. Press the front part of the switch – the

13. DIFFERENTIAL INHIBITOR
(Pro16 - Pro18 - Pro20)
Lever for engaging the differential inhibitor. This
improves the towing capacity by locking the rear
wheels so that both wheels drive simultaneously.
There are two positions:
1. Forward position – the differential in-
hibitor is not engaged. For normal opera-
tion.
2. Backward position – the differential in-
hibitor is engaged. For normal operation.
Works for both forward and reverse drive.
The differential lever is of greatest use when the
rear wheels are unevenly loaded. For example,
when driving across a slope, where the upper rear
wheel is not as loaded, as wheel as when turning
sharp corners where the inner rear wheel bears a
lesser load.
When driving during the winter on slippery surfac-
es, the drive capacity is improved if snow chains
are not used.
When the differential inhibitor is engaged, the
steering is heavy. Avoid turning the steering
wheel!
