changing the direction of the wheel

-------------------
I am buying a brand new wheel - Brent C. I throw clockwise. The
wheel is counter-clockwise. I understand it is easy enough to switch
direction by switching around some wires. Can anyone tell me how this
is done? A reversing switch was not available to me when I bought my
wheel, but I want it permanently (more or less) fixed in a clockwise
spin.

Thanks.

Run this by the brent people over the phone and make sure it's OK before you
do it. I don't have the schematic handy.

Unplug it,
Take the control box cover off. Follow the wire from the motor to the box.
Look inside and you'll see a green, a white, and a black wire coming out of
the larger wire coming from the motor. reverse the positions of the black
and white wires and put it all back together. Test it out.
