The manual controls for the electric replace are located on
the right end of the unit (Figure 1).

In “OFF” mode, power to all functions is cut off.

In “MANUAL” mode, the replace’s three levels of
operation are controlled by the Manual Control Buttons.

C. Manual Control Buttons

The Manual Control Buttons operate the replace levels
