Hydraulic pump / motor direction

As simple as it gets - the arrow shows quickly what direction the motor / pump should be turning especially useful on first start up after a wiring, electrical component or motor change. We have all seen a motor run in the wrong direction at some point with the results that follow especially if there is an electrical technician doing the work who is not familiar with hydraulic pumps.


I have found the best place to mount the arrow is on the bell housing as it most likely stays for the life of the machine. Motors and pumps can get changed out so any arrows placed on them disappear with the changed out component.
