For Forward and Reverse Operation
Forward and reverse operation is controlled by the key, which is usually the smaller of the two handles and located on the right-hand side of the top of the controller. Typically the key is pushed forward for forward operation, and backwards for reverse operation. There is usually a neutral or "off" position between forward and reverse positions. The key can only be removed from the controller at the neutral position.

Famous quotes containing the words reverse and/or operation:
“We came home from the ridotto so late, or rather so early, that it was not possible for me to write. Indeed we did not go ... till past eleven o’clock: but nobody does. A terrible reverse of the order of nature! We sleep with the sun, and wake with the moon.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
