    Air compressor query - pulley direction

    Hi
    Not sure how to get this into the tech subforum.
    Anyway I bought a 2nd hand ATCO compressor , with some dodgy wiring and 3 phase motor.
    My electrician has wired it up but needs to know which direction the pump pulley runs before we test it.
    If anyone with this type/make of compressor can help me , I'd be very appreciative!

    Cheers, Paul
    PS I have emailed ATCo , but no response

    Motor should turn clockwise when looking at rear
    That would make the motor turn anti clockwise at the front
    Generally the blades on the pulley should push (not pull) air over the pump as a cooling mechanism

    What ^^ he said. And I checked mine just to verify. They don't exactly move a lot of air, but it's there.
