Reversing an AC Motor

Hello EV gents! I'm about to get the EV grin. But first, I was wondering how to reverse an AC Motor? Specifically mine, a Curtis AC-12. The wiring diagram (located here: http://www.electricautosports.com/fi...-2009%29_0.pdf ) says to simply switch the white wire with the yellow wire in pin 33.

But the connector has no yellow wire. And nothing is in pin 33. Is there another way to reverse the motor? Could I possibly reverse the leads going to the motor itself? (W,V,U in the diagram)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
