To reverse rotation on the Southern States VM-1:
1. Refer to the notes on the VM-1 wiring diagram to change motor lead connections. 2. Ensure the VM-1 is decoupled from the switch before starting. 3. Pull motor fuses and heater fuses, and place the overload toggle switch in the off position. 4. After reversing leads, readjust all auxiliary contacts using the procedure described. 5. Keep the VM-1 decoupled until all adjustments are complete.

Figure 1 - Part Identification Storage: If this equipment is to be stored prior to use: 1. Store the VM-1 mechanism in the upright position 2. The door should be latched closed 3. No part of the mechanism should be submerged 4.
Installation: 1. Mount the VM-1 Mechanism as shown on the Operating Mechanism Drawing or Mounting Arrangement Drawing. Refer to Switch Installation Instructions for switch adjustment. 2. Attach the upper decoupler member to the vertical pipe in accordance with the instructions provided for the decoupler type supplied.

Installation and Adjustment Procedures 4. Single Size Decoupler: ●Do not pierce the pipe with the self-piercing set screws at this time. ●The vertical pipe should bottom out in the upper decoupler member. ●A clearance of ½ inch must be maintained between the upper and lower decoupler members. To adjust, raise or lower the vertical pipe in the vertical bearing.
VM-1 decoupled from the switch 2. Decouple as shown in Figure 3 and connect the VM-1 mechanism for electrical operation as shown on the wiring diagram drawing. Refer to Figure 1 for conduit entry into the cabinet.
Mechanism drawing and switch installation instructions for this procedure. 2. Perform all trail operations manually. Refer to Figure 4. 3. Do not rotate the VM-1 past the open and/or close position locks. Over rotation can damage the switch and operating mechanism.
1. Complete adjustments of switch and operating mechanism. 2. MAKE SURE MANUAL ROTATION OF THE SWTICH MATCHES THE ELECTRICAL ROTATION OF THE VM-1 MECHANISM. 3. Remove the manual operating handle and test electrical operation of the switch. 4. NOTE: The stop button when supplied will override all other commands.
2. Loosen the adjustable lock plate and disengage-Refer to Figure 5. 3. Manually rotate the VM-1 mechanism to the desired position. (See Figure 6) Adjust the motor limit switches to stop the motor at the new position as described in section IX. The limit switches are the two top poles of the auxiliary switch.
Installation and Adjustment Procedures Auxiliary Switch Adjustment: 1. Each auxiliary switch contact is spring loaded. 2. A contact is opened and held open by a cam operating against a roller – Refer to Figure 8. 3. The Auxiliary switch is adjustable in infinite steps to open and close at any point in the line switch operation.
