Reassemble the housing and reinstall and tighten the screws that you removed.

Place the batteries in the unit, and plug the power supply into the wall.

Turn on the swing (with the switch in either position) and see if it works normally. Push the new switch the other direction and make sure it works normally.

I then glued the switch into the housing using epoxy (in the first picture it's under the masking tape, being held in place while the epoxy cures).

You can unplug the power supply and then determine which direction the switch has to be in for the power supply to power the swing motor.

Label the switch accordingly.

Enjoy not having to buy batteries!
