The pump mounting surface and said motor mounting surface may be disposed perpendicular to each other. Said pump mounting surface and said motor mounting surface are disposed perpendicular to each other. The projection may be extended in parallel to the pump mounting surface and perpendicular to the motor mounting surface.
