I've read that as 62s had a fuel gauge as standard ...the reserve levers did not need to be fitted...

Yes, the levers were discontinued when the fuel gauge was fitted..
UP is ON - normal position...
45 degrees is OFF - half way between -
90 degrees is on Reserve.. 1 Gallon of fuel left..
only switch to reserve when You run out of fuel...
