PROXY STATEMENT
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the
solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Corporation of proxies to
be voted at the annual meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on
October 26, 1994, and at all adjournments thereof. Only shareholders of
record at the close of business on August 30, 1994 will be entitled to
vote. On that date, 48,973,148 Common Shares were outstanding and
entitled to vote at the meeting, each share being entitled to one vote.
This Proxy Statement and the form of Proxy are being mailed to
shareholders on September 26, 1994.
Shareholders of the Corporation have cumulative voting rights in
the election of Directors, provided any shareholder gives notice in
writing to the President or a Vice President or the Secretary of the
Corporation not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the
meeting that he desires that the voting at such election be cumulative
and an announcement of the giving of such notice is made upon the
convening of the meeting by the Chairman or the Secretary or by or on
behalf of the shareholder giving such notice. In such event, each
shareholder has the right to cumulate his votes and give one nominee the
number of votes equal to the number of Directors of each class to which
Directors are nominated multiplied by the number of votes to which his
shares are entitled, or he may distribute his votes on the same
principle among two or more nominees to each such class, as he sees fit.
In the event that voting at the election is cumulative, the persons
named in the Proxy will vote shares represented by valid Board of
Directors' Proxies on a cumulative basis for the election of the
nominees named below, allocating the votes of such shares in accordance
with their judgment.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of the Corporation presently consists of 12
members divided into three classes, each of which consists of four
members. Since the last annual meeting of shareholders, Dr. Robert H.
Cannon, Jr., a member of the class whose term expires in 1995, retired
from the Board of Directors.
The Directors of the class elected at each annual election shall
hold office for terms of three years. Shareholder approval is sought to
fix at four the number of directors in the class whose term will expire
in 1997 and to elect Duane E. Collins, Allen H. Ford, Allan L. Rayfield
and Paul G. Schloemer, directors whose terms of office expire in 1994,
to such class. A plurality of the Common Shares voted in person or by
proxy is required to elect a director.
Should any nominee become unable to accept nomination or election,
the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person as a
Director as the Board of Directors may recommend. However, the Board of
Directors has no reason to anticipate that this will occur.

COMPENSATION AND MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT
COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board
of Directors (the "Committee") has furnished the following report on
executive compensation:
The Committee, which consists entirely of four outside Directors,
has overall responsibility to:
* review the performance and long-term management potential of the
executive officers of the Corporation; and
* review and fix the salaries and other compensation of the
executive officers of the Corporation.
Following review and approval by the Committee, all issues
pertaining to executive compensation are submitted to the full Board of
Directors in conjunction with its approval and review of the
Corporation's strategies and operating plans, thereby assuring that the
Corporation's system of executive compensation is reasonable and
appropriate, meets its stated purpose and effectively serves the
interests of the shareholders and the Corporation.
The Corporation's executive compensation programs are designed to
attract and retain key executives critical to the long-term success of
the Corporation by remaining competitive with other multinational
diversified manufacturing companies of similar size. Comparative
compensation information is used by the Committee to establish
competitive salary grade ranges at the market median for both base pay
and total annual compensation. The group of companies used for
compensation comparison purposes is not the same as the S&P
Manufacturing (Diversified Industrials) Index, which is the peer group
of companies included in the performance graph on page 11. Comparative
compensation information is obtained by the Committee from independent
surveys of numerous diversified manufacturers, which the Committee
believes is important in order to establish competitive compensation
ranges at the appropriate levels. On the other hand, the S&P Index
utilized in the performance graph contains data only with respect to a
limited number of companies who are in businesses similar to the
Corporation, which data is theoretically reflective of the stock
performance of all diversified manufacturers as a whole.
The Corporation's executive compensation programs also are intended
to reward executives commensurate with performance and attainment of
pre-determined financial objectives. Accordingly, compensation of
executive officers is directly and materially linked to both operating
and stock price performance, aligning closely the financial interests of
the Corporation's executives with those of its shareholders.
Compensation for the Corporation's executives consists of four primary
elements:
1. A base salary within a competitively established range. The
specific base salary within the range is determined by length
of service and individual contributions and performance as
measured against pre-established goals and objectives. Goals
and objectives for each executive vary in accordance with each
executive's responsibilities and are established by each
executive's supervisor.
2. An annual cash incentive bonus that is comprised of two
components:
a. an amount that is determined by the Corporation's pre-tax
return on average assets as compared to the Corporation's
annual goal established at the beginning of the fiscal year
(the "Target Incentive Bonus"); and
b. an amount that is determined based on the return on
division net assets for the divisions in each executive's
individual operating unit (or the average return for all
divisions for corporate staff executive officers) (the
"RONA Bonus").
The target amount of the annual cash incentive bonuses is
established in such a manner that base salary plus the target
bonus will be within the competitively determined total annual
compensation range mentioned above. Target annual incentive
bonuses typically represent approximately 30-40% of total
targeted annual compensation for the executive officers with
operational profit and loss responsibility
4
(including the Chief Executive Officer) and 15-25% of targeted
total annual compensation for the other executive officers. The
Chief Executive Officer, with the approval of the Committee,
also has the authority to establish additional annual incentive
programs for operating executives. For example, in fiscal year
1994, operating group presidents had the opportunity to earn an
additional bonus if their group exceeded their sales plan by
more than 5%.
3. A long-term incentive plan (LTIP) award that is based upon the
Corporation's actual average return on equity for a three
fiscal year period, payable in cash and/or restricted stock at
the election of the Committee. The amount of the LTIP award is
calculated by applying a pre-determined multiplier to the
midpoint of the base salary range for each executive. The
multiplier ranges from .55 for the lowest executive salary
grade to 1.5 for the Chief Executive Officer, which is
consistent with the Committee's philosophy to provide the most
significant incentives to the highest ranking executives.
4. Stock option grants determined by the recipient's salary grade
level. Grants are intended to recognize different levels of
responsibility as indicated by salary grade. All executives in
the same grade level receive the same number of options. Stock
options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Corporation's common stock on the day of
grant and all current grants are exercisable between one and
ten years from the date granted.
Incentive compensation for the Corporation's executives is
significantly "at risk", based upon the financial performance of the
Corporation. Indeed, more than one half of each executive's targeted
total compensation (including base salary, annual bonus, LTIP payouts
and stock options) may fluctuate significantly from year to year because
it is directly tied to business and individual performance.
Long-term incentive programs are designed to link the interests of
the executives with those of the stockholders. LTIP awards, whether paid
in cash or restricted stock, focus on long-term return on equity, which
is directly related to enhancing shareholder value. Restricted stock
awards build stock ownership and encourage a long-term focus on
shareholder value since the stock is restricted from being sold,
transferred, or assigned for a specified period. Stock option grants
provide an incentive that aligns the executive's interests with those of
the shareholders since stock options will provide value to the executive
only when the price of the Corporation stock increases above the option
grant price.
The Corporation's executive compensation philosophy is specifically
evident in the compensation paid during the most recent fiscal year to
the Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer, Duane E.
Collins. The significant increase in Mr. Collins' fiscal 1994 base
salary is reflective of his recent promotion to that position. For the
same reason, Mr. Collins' base salary was established well below the
mid-point of his salary grade range. In addition, based on the
Corporation's fiscal 1994 operating plan, Mr. Collins was to receive
100% of his Target Incentive Bonus of $186,400 if the Corporation's
actual pre-tax return on average assets, adjusted primarily for
acquisitions and currency transactions, was 7.1%. A minimum payout of
48% of the Target Incentive Bonus was established at a 5.5% pre-tax
return on average assets and a maximum payout of 150% of the Target
Incentive Bonus was established at an 8.7% pre-tax return on average
assets. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, the Corporation's
adjusted pre-tax return on average assets, further adjusted as described
below, was 9.72% and each executive officer, including Mr. Collins,
received an amount equal to the maximum 150% of his Target Incentive
Bonus, which is included in the "Bonus" column of the Summary
Compensation Table on page 7.
Mr. Collins' RONA Bonus was targeted at $165,600 based upon an
approximate 21% average return on division net assets. The average
return on division net assets, adjusted as described below, was slightly
more than 23%, resulting in a RONA Bonus payment to Mr. Collins of
$186,240, which is included in the "Bonus" column of the Summary
Compensation Table on page 7. The other executive officers also received
RONA Bonuses based upon the return on division net assets by their
respective operating units (or the average return for all divisions for
corporate staff executive officers).
Based on the Corporation's average return on equity, adjusted as
described below, of 8.14% for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1994,
Mr. Collins and the other executive officers received an interim payment
5
under the 1993-94-95 Long Term Incentive Plan in the form of restricted
shares, as reported in the "LTIP Payouts" column of the Summary
Compensation Table on page 7. Such payment represents 25.7% of the
target payment that could have been achieved had the Corporation
achieved its return on equity goal of 16% of such period.
Mr. Collins and the other executive officers also received a long-
term incentive award as described in the LTIP table on page 9 and were
granted the stock options described in the stock option award table on
page 8. The significant difference between the number of stock options
awarded to Mr. Collins and the other executive officers is reflective of
the Committee's philosophy of assuring that the CEO has a significant
incentive to increase the stock price and shareholder value.
In fiscal 1994 the Corporation not only achieved record sales but
also experienced markedly improved operating results before the effect
of charges taken in the fiscal third quarter to reduce the book value of
certain long-term assets and to recognize downsizing and relocation
activities. Most of the charges were taken to reflect structural changes
that have occurred in the aerospace industry and to recognize continuing
economic problems in Europe and South America. The Committee, believing
that the charges were appropriate to position the Corporation in
addressing marketplace realities, unanimously approved the principle
that the above-identified charges against earnings would not have an
effect on the Corporation's annual and long-term incentive compensation
plans. Accordingly, the Corporation's actual return on average assets,
return on division net assets and return on equity were adjusted for
purposes of determining compensation payable under such plans.
During 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the
"Act") was enacted by Congress. The Act includes potential limitations
on the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the
Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and four other highest paid
executive officers beginning in fiscal year 1995. The Committee has
taken the necessary actions to ensure the deductibility of compensation
paid by the Corporation to such individuals.

Summary Compensation Table received personal benefits or
perquisites in excess of the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of his total
compensation reported in the Salary and Bonus columns. Reported in
this column is annual compensation consisting of (i) amounts
reimbursed by the Corporation for the payment of income taxes on
certain executive perquisites; (ii) $69,968 in executive
perquisites received by Mr. Collins in fiscal year 1993, including
$40,000 of which was for the payment of a country club membership

payment under the 1993-94-95 Long Term Incentive Plan. Such value is

determined based upon the Corporation's adjusted average return on
equity of 8.14% for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1994.
Determination of the ultimate payment earned under such Plan will
depend upon the Corporation's average return on equity for the three
years ending June 30, 1995. Accordingly, the restricted shares issued
as an interim payment are subject to forfeiture dependent upon fiscal
1995 performance of the Corporation. The restricted shares are subject
to a three-year vesting period from the date of issuance, with
accelerated vesting in the event of the death, disability or normal
retirement of the Plan participant. No other restricted shares of the
Corporation are currently issued. Dividends are paid by the
Corporation on the restricted shares.
(c) Represents matching contributions by the Corporation to the Parker
Hannifin Employees' Savings Plus Stock Ownership Plan.
(d) Mr. Collins was named President and Chief Executive Officer on
July 1, 1993, the beginning of fiscal year 1994.

of 20%) for the three fiscal years ending June 30, 1996.
PENSION PLAN TABLE
The following table summarizes the estimated annual benefits
payable upon retirement to the executive officers identified in the
Summary Compensation Table on page 7:
Years of Service
Remuneration 15 or more

300,000 165,000

1,300,000 715,000
The foregoing table sets forth the straight-life annuity payable
under the Corporation's Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits
Program at the normal retirement age of 65. The years of service under
the Program for each of the executive officers identified in the Summary
Compensation Table on page 7, at their respective retirement dates, will
be as follows: Mr. Parker, 35 years; Mr. Collins, 35 years; Mr.
Sullivan, 35 years; Mr. Hiemstra, 25 years; and Mr. Zito, 35 years. The
Program provides an annual benefit based upon the average of the
participant's three highest calendar years of cash compensation (salary
and annual bonus) with the Corporation. The amounts set forth in the
"Salary" and "Bonus" columns in the Summary Compensation Table on page 7
are determined on a fiscal year basis and, thus, do not provide a
totally accurate basis to determine benefits payable under the Program
(which are based on calendar year compensation). The average of each
named participant's three highest calendar years of cash compensation
are as follows: Mr. Collins, $497,542; Mr. Parker, $647,952; Mr.
Sullivan, $531,777; Mr Hiemstra, $398,985; and Mr. Zito, $321,784.
Benefits are subject to reduction for payments received under the
Corporation's Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and 50% of primary
social security benefits.

Officer Agreements Effective Upon "Change in Control". The Corporation
has entered into separate agreements (collectively the "Agreements")
with Messrs. Collins, Sullivan, Hiemstra and Zito. Prior to his recent
retirement as an executive officer, the Corporation also had a similar
Agreement with Mr. Parker which has now terminated. The Agreements are
designed to retain the executives and provide for continuity of
management in the event of any actual or threatened change in the
control of the Corporation. Each Agreement only becomes operative upon a
"Change in Control of the Company", as that term is defined in the
Agreements, and only if the executive is then in the employ of the
Corporation. The term "Change in Control of the Company" for the purpose
of the Agreements means a change in control of a nature that would be
required to be reported in response to applicable regulations under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), as in
effect on January 1, 1980. Such a Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred if and when (i) any "person" (as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the 1934 Act) is or becomes a beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the
Corporation's then outstanding securities, or (ii) during any period of
twenty-four consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such
twenty-four month period were Directors of the Corporation for whom the
executive shall have voted cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
Each Agreement provides that, after the Agreement becomes
operative, i.e., after a "Change in Control", the executive will receive
during employment annual compensation, consisting of base salary plus
incentive compensation, in an amount not less than that received for the
fiscal year ended immediately prior to the execution date of each
Agreement, plus any increase in salary granted to him from time to time
prior to and after any "Change in Control". In addition, each Agreement
provides for continuance, after a "Change in Control", at not less than
present levels, of employee benefit plans and practices (or equivalent
successor plans and practices), including retirement plans, stock option
and stock appreciation rights plans, life and accidental death and
dismemberment insurance and medical and health and welfare plans. If the
executive was not previously designated a participant in the
Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits Program (described above),
upon a "Change in Control" he automatically becomes a participant in
that Program. Following a "Change in Control", if an executive under age
60 (i) is terminated by the Corporation without "cause" (as defined in
the Agreements) or (ii) terminates his employment following his removal
from office or due to a significant change in authority in his office,
he will be entitled (except for Mr. Hiemstra and Mr. Zito who are
subject to Sections 280G or 4999 of the Code) until he reaches age 60
(but in no event for more than 10 years): (a) to receive from the
Corporation annual compensation equal to the aggregate of his then
current base salary plus his most recent incentive compensation award
under the Corporation's Incentive Compensation Plan, as then in effect;
and (b) to participate in specified employee benefit plans and practices
as if he continued as an employee of the Corporation. The executive is
obligated to endeavor to mitigate damages by seeking comparable
employment elsewhere and, to the extent he receives compensation and
benefits from another employer, the foregoing payments and benefits
provided by the Corporation will be reduced accordingly. Any outstanding
stock option held by an executive who is involuntarily terminated before
or after age 60 will be surrendered to the Corporation in exchange for a
lump-sum payment of the excess of the "fair market value" of the Common
Shares subject to the option over the exercise price of the option. In
each Agreement, the executive agrees that he will forfeit the foregoing
payments and benefits if he engages in "competition" with the
Corporation during the period that any payments are made or benefits are
provided under the Agreement, and agrees not to disclose to others,
either while in the employ of the Corporation or thereafter, any
confidential information relating to the Corporation. If the employment
of an executive is terminated without "cause" by the Corporation after
age 60 (or, if earlier, after 10 years following the date of the
Agreement) and prior to his normal retirement date, the Corporation is
to pay the executive, as a severance allowance, an amount equal to 50%
of one year's total compensation.

SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS
The deadline for shareholders to submit proposals to be considered
for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 1995 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders is expected to be May 28, 1995.
GENERAL
The Board of Directors knows of no other matters which will be
presented at the meeting. However, if any other matters properly come
before the meeting or any adjournment, the person or persons voting the
proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such
matters.
The Corporation will bear the expense of preparing, printing and
mailing this Proxy Statement. In addition to solicitation by mail,
officers and other employees of the Corporation may solicit the return
of proxies. The Corporation will request banks, brokers and other
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxy material to
beneficial owners of Common Shares. The Corporation will, upon request,
reimburse them for their expenses in so doing. The Corporation has
retained Kissel-Blake Inc., 25 Broadway, New York, New York, to assist
in the solicitation of proxies at an anticipated cost of $12,000 plus
disbursements.
You are urged to sign and return your Proxy promptly in order to
make certain your shares will be voted at the meeting. Shares
represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance
with any specification made thereon and, if no specification is made,
will be voted in favor of fixing at four the number of Directors in the
class whose three-year term of office will expire in 1997 and for the
election of the nominees for Directors in such class and in favor of the
appointment of Coopers & Lybrand as independent public accountants for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1995. Abstentions and broker non-votes
are counted in determining the votes present at a meeting. Consequently,
an abstention or a broker non-vote has the same effect as a vote against
a proposal, as each abstention or broker non-vote would be one less vote
in favor of a proposal. You may revoke your Proxy by giving notice to
the Corporation in writing or in open meeting, without affecting any
vote previously taken. However, your mere presence at the meeting will
not operate to revoke your Proxy.
The Annual Report of the Corporation, including financial
statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, is being mailed to
shareholders with this Proxy Statement.
