# Rotation Direction

The exterior of the gearbox is completely symmetrical; however, it is **NOT** symmetrical internally. Depending on the orientation of the gearbox, the bevel gear on the output shaft could be on either side which will affect the rotation direction.

{% hint style="info" %}
Before installing the gearbox, check the rotation direction by hand and orient it in the direction that produces the desired rotation direction.
{% endhint %}
