INSTALLATION
WARNING
Connect the switch to
stranded wire with
insulated quick-
disconnect crimp type
female wire terminals
having a 1⁄4" tab.
All crimps MUST be "pull-checked" to ensure
that wires are securely crimped. If crimps are
not secure they may disconnect and fall out with
moderate tension or when exposed to normal
machine vibration.
WARNING
*
- This switch MUST be installed on an electrical
circuit with a verified machine ground. In the
event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns
the grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current.
To Install
See the Wiring Diagram to properly install
the switch.
