Gear lever
The gear positions are indicated on the lever
knob
;
mak
e certain
that
the lever
is in the neutral position before starting the engine. First and second gears are
selected by moving the lever to the left,
and
engaged by moving it forward into
first gear and backwards into second gear. Th ird
and
fourth gears are selected
by moving the lever to the right through the neutral position until resistance is
felt, then forward into
third
gear
and
backw
ard
s into fourth gear.
To engage reverse gear move the lever to the right in the neutral position until
resistance is felt, apply further side pressure to overcome the resistance
and
then
move it backwards to engage the gear. Synchromesh is provided on second,
third , and fourth gears.
Pedals
The left-hand pedal operates the clutch, the centre pedal the brakes,
and
the
right-hand pedal the accelerator. Keep the foot clear of the clutch pedal except
when engagement or disengagement of any gear is intended, or when in heavy
traffic. Driving with the foot resting on the pedal will lead to rapid clutch wear.
Hand brake
The
h
and
brake is of the pull-up lever type, operating mechanically on the
rear
wheels only. To release the hand brake, pull it upwards to take the load,
press the ratchet release
button
located in the end of the lever with the thumb
and
push
the lever down into the off position .
The
hand
brak
e is automatically
adjusted at the same time as the foot brake
and
requires no separate adjustment.
