"you will make L2 your neutral connection @ Motor terminal 4
L1 will go to the common (center) terminal of the SPDT switch
the #1 motor terminal gets a wire from one side of the SPDT switch
the #2 motor terminal will get a wire from the other side of the SPDT switch
when you throw the switch either way you'll be completing the motor circuit in it's respective bias,
the neutral has already been supplied and is not switched in this scenario."
Lets see if I have this right. The neutral from my 120vac source goes to terminal 4, replacing L1 (which I presume is the nuetral) in diagram above?
Then L1 (the hot wire from my 120vac source) goes to the common (center) terminal of the SPDT switch, then the red and black wires on terminal 1 and 2(see pic above) go to either side of the SPDT? Want to be sure I have this right before sending power to the motor.
thanks, Brian
