REVERSING GEAR
(if equipped)
The MTC is equipped with a Reversing Gear
and thus gives the possibility of having 4
forward gears + 2 reverse gears, even with
front implements (handlebars rotated throu-
gh 180°).
With gear lever in idle position and clutch
disengaged, insert the Reversing Gear by
using lever n° 12 (Fig. 2).
N.B.: For safety reasons, the Reversing
Gear can be engaged only when handle-
bars are rotated (front implements). A devi-
ce connected to the control lever prevents
its engagement when the handlebars are in
normal position.
ATTENTION - When the Re-
versing Gear is engaged, the
independent p.t.o.'s direction
will change.
HANDLEBARS
Adjustment in height (vertical sense) allows
9 positions, obtained with lever n° 6 (Fig.
4).
Side adjustment (horizontal sense) allows 6
positions (3 with handlebars in normal po-
sition 3 with handlebars reversed by 180°),
which are obtained with lever n° 11 (Fig. 4).

ROTATION OF HANDLEBAR FOR USE
WITH FRONTAL IMPLEMENTS
When assembling the front implements,
the handlebars have to be rotated through
180°.
To rotate the handlebars proceed as fol-
lows:
A) Place the Reversing Gear reduction lever
on slow gear (Fig. 5).
B) Remove plugs S (Fig. 4), and take off rods
A and B. Slip off rod B from support C.
C) Pull lever 11 (Fig. 4) and rotate the han-
dlebars in clockwise direction, as shown on
the plate on the steering column (Fig. 5).
D) Re-assemble rod B on support C.
To bring the handlebars back to normal
position (tilling), repeat the same opera-
tions, while turning the handlebars in anti-
clockwise sense.
ATTENTION - When handle-
bars are in front implements
position, the Reversing Gear
reduction control lever must
never be put on fast gear.
