1 - REVERSE BRAKE (ENGAGED)

2 - FORWARD CLUTCH (RELEASED)

When the reverse brake is engaged, the planetary carrier is fixed and the driving force from the engine rotates the sun gear reversely.

Therefore, the primary pulley is rotated reversely and the driving force is outputted in the reverse rotating direction.
