If everything is adjusted and operating correctly:
!. When the handle/lever is in the forward (engaged) position, the springs "D" provide pressure to sandwich the disc "C" between two plates, one of which is the belt pulley.
2. Becaust the other plate is attacched to the motor crankshaft, the belt pulley will spin with the motor.
3. When the handle/lever is pulled back (dis-engaged) button "A" presses on button "B" and relieves the pressure of the springs "D" allowing the belt pulley to freewheel, (or float) on its bearing and not turn with the motor.
Hope that makes cents 2u.
