Lock it at the slowest speed, take out the two screws holding it in, pull it out, turn it 180 degrees, reinstall it. Now the control lever will be unside down. Take a little getting used to, but it gets it out of the way.

>Yes, Dennis, it sure does get in the way. Good suggestion, Pete.
Do you ever notice that the handle is a little funky when you want to change speed? Sometimes it seems unresponsive.

>Pete,
Thanks for the tip. Once I found the two screws, under the removable speed decal, pretty straight forward. Haven't had a chance to give it a try yet but it does appear to be less anoying.
Also, I have noticed that the "shifting" of speeds is a little slugish, but I just have to remember to ensure that I hear the "click" before I change speeds.
Thanks
Dennis
