Re: (ET) Mower motor direction

[Chris Zach <cz alembic crystel com>]

There should be no issues with running the motor backwards (it is a PM 
motor after all with neutral brush timing) and if you put the blades on 
upside down it should still cut. I guess it might blow the lawn 
clippings away from a side discharge chute, but not sure if anything 
else would be really affected.

Need to work on the E20; the lift stopped working and it's not the fuse. 
Drat.
