The pull out knob engages the back gears. Assuming it is was installed correctly pulling it out engages the back gears, pushing it in is normal drive. There are two steps to using the back gears, that knob and a lock pin on the bull gear. Normally the lock pin is engaged and the knob is pushed in. For using the back gear the lock pin is disengaged and the knob is pulled out. Note that if the knob and gear rack is not installed correctly this may get mixed up (see instruction link below).
