Which direction should my Ideal 55 fan be blowing?

Just hooked up a new compressor fan (Thanks for the quick shipment Soda Jerk Works!).

My fan is currently rotating such that it is drawing air in from the front of the machine across the cooling fins, through the fan and over the backside of the compressor tank (or whatever it's called).

My intuition tells me that this should be reversed.

Should the fan blow outward?  So that, standing in front of the machine, you might feel the air blowing out from the machine and across your ankles?

If so, I just need to reverse the wiring I'd guess.

Thanks gang!

No - you want to draw air through the condenser fins and over the compressor

Great thanks!

I've got it installed now and it is drawing air in from the front, across the cooling fins as it blows directly on the compressor tank.

Appreciate the reply!
