Rapid Wind Lever and R8 Motor Winder

Hello all. I’m looking at a Leica “Product Information” sheet regarding the R8 Motor Winder. (NOT the Motor Drive.) The sheet refers to the “rapid wind lever.” It says that if the lever is in the “ready” position the film can be wound manually. But if the lever is in the “parked” position the motor winder will advance the film. There are no illustrations on the sheet. I have the (German, which I speak) R8 manual but it’s no help. So: which is the “ready” position and which is the “parked” position? 

Many thanks.

"parked" position ist der ganz eingeklappte Aufzugshebel (Hebel liegt am Kameragehäuse an). "ready" position ist die etwas ausgeklappte Stellung des Aufzugshebels, aus der heraus man den Hebel zum Spannen des Verschlusses besser greifen kann.
