LOL..indeed.

If I were wiring one of these, I would use the fwd/off/rev
lever to run the VFD for those functions. Then I would turn
the high/off/low lever into center-off, momentary switch,
and use the drum switch contacts for that lever into the
VFD control lines, as speedup/slowdown.

Most VFDs allow that kind of two-button fast/slow
speed control programming.

Not a bad idea, or use low for a programmed speed such as 1000 rpm,
which most of us use most of the time. Least..I do. Shrug.
