Orientation of the 3PDT footswitch

[pahurst]

This may be a dumb question, but I could not find the answer anywhere, but how do you know the correct orientation for the 3PDT footswitch.  It looks like the only notation on mine, is maybe a number 4, which is half peaking out the side of one of the corner pins or terminals,---or whatever you call it.  I just need to know if mine is right side up or upside down, so I can start connecting the wires to it.

Thanks

But really, sit down with your continuity checker and probe the switch for awhile.
Then study every layout drawing with a 3PDT in it.

Eventualy you form a mental picture in your head.
