VAD SKA MAN GÖRA MED KOPPLINGEN?

The power shuttle has a manual shifted gear box--always select the proper gear for the application.

Shuttle is for changing from forward to reverse.
Keep in mind that you should back off of the throttle to minimize shock on the machine and keep shifting smooth.

Explanation:
Etc. Det är väl vad idiomet "back off" brukar betyda och bör kunna fungera i sammanhanget.

Såvida det här inte används ordagrant och betyder "dra/föra tillbaka [någonting] från" throtteln (strypventilen?).
