HOW YOUR TILLER'S CONTROLS FUNCTION
THE FORWARD/REVERSE
LEVER-When
you
push
down
on the Forward/Reverse Lever,
it
raises the engine and its
mount
upward
and
tightens
the belts
which
drive the
tiller
forward,
when the engine is running. See

the
tiller
will be driven forward,
by
the
wheels at the

is
not
engaged
with
a wheel gear, the wheels will
not

When

the Forward/Reverse Lever
up-
ward and
hold
it
in Reverse, the reverse
disc
is
lowered
into
the transmission drive
pulley
groove nearest
to
the operator.
This
rotates the
tiller's main drive
shaft
in
the
opposite
direc-
tion. As a result, the drive shaft turns the wheel
and
tine
gears in the Reverse direction. See
Sketch 2/13.

What actually happens is
that
this

lifting
action by the lever
tightens
the belts
which
transmit
the
power
from the

pulley
to
the
tiller
pulley
(which drives the
tiller
transmission, see Sketch 2/13).
The

of
the

both
the
tines
and
the
wheel gears. If the wheel
