CONSTRUCTION
The forward/reverse switching unit consists of a planetary gear, a forward clutch and a reverse brake.
The forward clutch, which operates during a forward movement, connects the input shaft with the planetary carrier.
The reverse brake, which operates during reverse movement, keeps the ring gear stationary.

OPERATION
Forward Driving
The forward clutch is connected when advancing, and engine torque is input from the input shaft to the planetary carrier and is output to the primary pulley.

Reverse Driving
Engine torque is input to the sun gear when reversing. The ring gear is fixed by the reverse brake to transmit engine torque to the stepless shift transmission mechanism with inverse rotation.
