CONTROLS AND
INSTRUMENTS
Items 1 - 20, see figures 1 - 9
1. IMPLEMENT LIFTER
A pedal for raising front-mounted accessories to
the transport position.
To lift up the accessory, press the pedal down as far
as it will go. Then release the pedal, the implement
lifter is now locked in the lift position.
To lower the accessory, press the pedal down so
that the lock is released. Lower the implement lift-
er to the working position by slowly lifting your
foot from the pedal.
2. LIFT HELP (Pro18 - Pro20)
The implement lifter is complemented with adjust-
able lift help in the form of a gas spring. This facil-
itates lifting heavy accessories.
Under the engine casing, on the top of the rear
bumper, there is a setting crank.
Use this to increase/decrease the lift help.
Screw anti-clockwise to increase the
lift help if heavy accessories are be-
ing used.
Screw clockwise to decrease the lift
help if lighter accessories are being
used.
3A. SERVICE BRAKE/CLUTCH
(Senator)
A pedal that combines both service brake and
clutch. Three positions:
1. Pedal released – forward drive
engaged. The machine will
move if a gear is engaged. Serv-
ice brake not activated.
2. Pedal depressed halfway –
forward drive disengaged, gear
shifting can be performed. Serv-
ice brake not activated.
3. Pedal fully depressed – for-
ward drive disengaged. Service
brake fully activated.
NOTE! You must never regulate the operating
speed by slipping the clutch. Use a suitable gear in-
stead, so that the right speed is obtained.
3B. SERVICE BRAKE (President -
Royal - Pro16 - Pro18 - Pro20)
A pedal that acts upon the machine’s braking sys- 
						

							9
ENGLISHGB
tem. There are 3 positions:
1. Pedal released – service brake
not activated.
2. Pedal depressed halfway –
forward drive disengaged. Serv-
ice brake not activated.
3. Pedal fully depressed – for-
ward drive disengaged. Service
brake fully activated.
4. PARKING BRAKE

chine is stationary.
3. Depress the pedal with your
heel – the machine reverses.
The drive pedal regulates the speed. The more
pressure applied, the faster the machine will move.

umn and raise or lower the steering wheel to the
desired position.

tion.
7. THROTTLE/CHOKE CONTROL
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke
the engine when starting from cold (the latter does
not apply to Royal-Pro16-Pro18-Pro20 which
have separate choke control – see item 8).
1. Choke – for starting a cold engine. The
choke is located in top of groove (does not
apply to Royal- Pro16-Pro18-Pro20).
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in
operation, full throttle should always be
used.
3. Idle running.
8. CHOKE CONTROL (Royal - Pro16 -
Pro18 - Pro20)
A pull-type control to choke the engine when start-
ing from cold.
1. Control fully pulled out – choke valve
in carburettor closed. For starting cold en-
gine.
2. Control pushed in – choke valve open.
For starting warm engine and when oper-
ating the machine.
Never operate the machine with the choke
pulled out when the engine is warm.

Ignition lock used for starting/stopping the engine.
Also includes switch for spotlight (Senator does
not have a spotlight). Four positions:
1. Stop position – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position – spotlight activat-
ed.
3. Operating position – spotlight not acti-
vated.
4. Start position – the electric start motor
isactivatedwhenthekeyisturnedtothe
spring-loaded start position. Once the en-
gine has started, let the key return to oper-
ating position 3.
To turn on the spotlight, turn the key to position 2.
NOTE! If the key is turned from the stop posi- 
						

							10
ENGLISHGB
tion to operating position 2, the spotlight is acti-
vated. This uses up battery power. Do not leave
the machine with the key in position 2 (applies
to Pro16-Pro18-Pro20).
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).

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.

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

2. Press the rear part of the switch – the
power take-off is disengaged.
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!

sired speed is obtained. Then press the
front part of the switch to activate the
cruise control. The symbol will light up.
