Unknown function of lever(see pic)

[alorio1]

I am the new owner of a Yanmar 3110 and see this lever that I don't know it's function. I ordered a service manual from Hoye but I can't find the description of this lever in the manual and the pics aren't very clear in the service manual. I have not moved it with tractor running but did move it while engine was stopped. It moves easily but I just don't want to mess with some thing I know noting about. Can someone please tell me what the functionality of this lever is and how should it be used? It's the lever just below the gear shift decal. Thanks in advance...alorio1

Parking brake? diff lock?

That's the donglemeyer overload protection lever. If you feel as though your donglemeyer is getting overloaded you throw the switch rapidly and repeatedly.

To where is it connected? What moves when the switch moves?

Throttle tension?

I always thought it was something to do with the creeper function. I have never used mine. I have No need for it

Could it engage the 4wd or the hi- lo in the chain case.

In the Pic. it looks like it's showing that if you move the Lever in the Down Position puts the Trans in Creep Mode?

It doesn't engage the 4 wd. That's done with another lever. I have never given mine much thought
