The answer seems pretty straightforward:
When you put in left pedal, the lower rotor is decreased in collective pitch and the upper rotor increases. This creates a torque that drives the nose left.
It also drives the two disks apart, which helps prevent self-midair during engagement, when flapping is biggest (since CF is very low).
