help with wiring a reversible motor

I got a Marathon Motor 115v 60 HZ 1725 RPM 1/4 HP reversible motor

The wiring diagram on the motor shows:

CW
Yellow - 1 = Line 1
Blue - 4 = Line 2

CCW
Blue - 1 = Line 1
Yellow - 4 = Line 2

I've got a Carlingswitch HM254-73 toggle switch with 9 connections. How do I make the connection from the motor to the switch?

Thanks.

Thanks WilleeCue. I'll take a pic of the switch tonight but here's the specs of it:

Basically, it has 9 contacts at the bottom instead of 6.

I also have a couple of on-off-on switches I got from Radio shack with 6 contacts. Will these work?

The switch came with a 3 page manual with several different diagrams but the closest I can find to my setup is attached. So from what you are saying, row 2 would be line 1 and row 3 will be line 2, correct? So what's row 1 used for? This diagram is also using 1, 2 and 4 on the motor besides the blue and yellow connections. If I switch the 2 and 1 on the motor from the diagram, will that work?

I am just confused.

Here's my current setup. The motor came pre-wired with only an On-off switch. I've attached pictures so you guys can clearly see the current wiring and what I would like to do.

On the motor, I have "yellow" connected to "4" and "blue" connected to "1". It also has a "blue wire" that connects to line 1 of the switch and a "black wire" connected to line 2. There is also a "red wire" for ground.

On the power source, I have a "white wire" connect to line 1 and a "black wire" connected to line2 on the switch and a ground wire which connects to the ground wire on the motor.

This setup allows the motor to rotate only in one direction. If I want to reverse it, I just switch the yellow and blue wires on the motor and it's not too big of a deal as it takes me just a few seconds to do.

What I want to do now is to use my on-off-switch with 9 connectors but I don't know how the existing wires on my motor and power source get connected to this new switch. Also, why is one connector facing outwards on this switch?

Disconnect the white and blue wires from the switch and splice them.
Connect the black power wire to 4 on the new switch.
Connect the black motor wire to 1 on the new switch.
Connect the yellow wire to pin 5 on the new switch.
Connect the blue wire to pin 6 of the new switch.
Run a wire from pin 2 of the new switch to the spot on the motor where the blue wire was connected.
Run a wire from pin 3 of the new switch to the spot on the motor where the yellow wire was connected.

Should work.

Thanks. So the last 3 contacts will be empty? Is my diagram below correct?

If all you want to do is swap the blue & yellow, I think you can do that with a 2p2t switch and a set of Chris's jumpers. Why even mess with the other wires?

No reason. I just have the switch and I would like to use it.

Thanks dchristal for the instructions and cueman for the verification. I will try to do the connections tonight.
