ball of your foot – the machine 
moves forwards.
2. No load on the pedal – the ma-
chine is stationary.
3. Depress the pedal with your 
heel – the machine reverses.
The drive pedal regulates the speed. The more 
pressure applied, the fast er the machine will move.
6. ADJUSTABLE STEERING WHEEL

justable. Undo the adjustment knob on the steering 
column and raise or lower the steering wheel to the 
desired position. Tighten.
Do not adjust the steering wheel during opera-
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-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-Pro20). Avoid op-
erating the machine in this position, taking 
care to move the control to full throttle 
(see below) when the engine is warm.
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in 
operation, full throttle should always be 
used.
3. Idling.
8. CHOKE CONTROL 
(Royal - Pro16 - 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.
9. IGNITION LOCK/SPOTLIGHT
Ignition lock used for st arting/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 
is activated when the key is turned to the 
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-
tion to operating position 2, the spotlight is acti-
vated. This uses up battery power. Do not leave

hibitor is not engaged. For normal opera-
tion.
2. Lever in backward position - differen-
tial inhibitor engaged. Works for both for-
ward and reverse drive.
The differential inhibitor is of greatest use when 
the rear wheels are unevenly loaded. For example 
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!

ENGLISHGB
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol 
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than 
can be used within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate pet-
rol. This type of petrol  has a composition that is 
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly in flammable. Always 
store fuel in containers that are made 
especially for this purpose. 
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, 
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill with fuel before starting 
the engine. Never remove the filler cap 
or fill with petrol while the engine is 
running or still warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an 
empty space (= at least the en tire filler tube plus 1 
- 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to 
expand when it warms  up without overflowing 
(fig. 28).
