^ Then move the lever into the N position by inserting a screwdriver or something into the hole.
^ When the hole faces upward then as shown in the illustration, the gear is in the N position.
b. Be sure to follow the items below, before removing the SMT system.
^ Perform a cleaning of the connecting part of the SMT system hose and HPU, as there may be some dirt or foreign objects sticking to the part.
