Please first look at the drum switch wiring "sticky" above. It shows the exact switch type you have, with wiring diagrams.

There was a very good thread post about drum switch install that showed a number of different views, perhapps you could do a PM search...

Good to have the forward switch position to somehow be logical to what it controls...like the switch throw is /mimics the direction of the machine action, if you can.
