Reverse Threading

The Model G0516 can be setup to turn left-hand-
ed threads by adding another fixed-shaft gear
and moving the original fixed-shaft gear to anoth-
er mounting location.

Figure 44 shows the three

mounting locations for fixed-shaft gears (spindle
drive pulley is removed for clarity). For illustration
purposes, we label these mounting positions A, B
& C.
