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:
“During the late war [the American Revolution] I had an infallible rule for deciding what [Great Britain] would do on every occasion. It was, to consider what they ought to do, and to take the reverse of that as what they would assuredly do, and I can say with truth that I was never deceived.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
