LUTCH / BRAKE PEDAL
This pedal has a double function - during the first part of its travel it acts as a
clutch, engaging and disengaging drive to the wheels, and in the second part
it acts as a brake on the rear wheels.
It is important not to take too long in using the clutch as this can cause over-
heating and damage the transmission belt.
When the machine
is in movement, keep your foot off the
pedal.
