On the new Rippa R18 Pro you can switch between them yourself in a minute or two.</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">STEPS</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">1. Turn the machine off. Always do this first.</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">2. Rotate the lever by the seat down to change from SAE to ISO.</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">3. Open the access panel on the floor plate and find the small round spring-loaded ball.</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">4. Pull it down and slide it back over to the new position.</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">5. To go back, rotate the handle the other way, then reposition the lever.</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">6. Reinstall the access panel.</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">The switches are in different places on different models. Some models have the second switch inside a box instead, so ask your dealer to walk you through it when you buy.</font></p><p style="text-align:left;"><font color="#222222">Questions?
