A good thing that you drew it out. I see one problem. I
apparently did not mention that the (RED) motor wire should also go to
terminal (2) instead of to terminal (4).

Other than that -- it looks good.

As drawn, the power from switch terminal (E) goes to an
otherwise empty terminal, and thus does nothing. As shown, it would run
in the same direction no matter which switch position you selected.

Oh -- and it it runs in reverse when the switch is set to
FORWARD and vise versa, swap the wires to pins (B) and (C) on the
switch. (Or the wires from the switch to pins 1 and 4 at the motor. I
think that the motor has tabs which you can push connectors onto, as
well as studs which you can wrap wires around or connect crimped ring
terminals to, so if you used the push-on crimp terminals, it may be
easier to change at the motor.

I would be interested to see what your drawing of my 120V
description looks like as well. It may also have an error from my
forgetting to describe *everything*.

Good Luck,
DoN.



i abandoned the 120V drawing, didn't complete it, didn't save it. sorry.

i finally wired up the motor and switch. disappointed to report the darn
thing won't start on it's own, in either direction. it does run if i spin
it up by hand but won't start up on it's own. could it be because i
transposed the black/red wires? dang!!! did i burn something up/out?

b.w.
