することがなくなる。As described above, according to the operating lever of the present invention, when the grip is fitted on the operating shaft, the rotational phase and the axial position of the grip with respect to the operating shaft are regulated by the engaging portion. In this state, when the grip is fixed to the operation shaft and the cylindrical engagement portion of the changeover switch is fitted to the grip, the changeover switch is fixed to the grip and the engagement portion is firmly locked. As a result, the operation shaft and the fixed part of the grip do not loosen and rotate,
Since the changeover switch fitted to the grip does not rotate, the electric wire connected to the changeover switch is not twisted and disconnected.
