Description
This switch is electrically positioned in the supply
line to the Lucas high pressure petrol pump.
The function of the unit is to cut out the electrical
supply to the pump after a crash or severe stop. If the crash
severs the fuel line the fuel tank contents should not be
pumped into the roadway. The possibility of a petrol fire is
thereby reduced.
With the button depressed the switch is in its normal
operating condition with contacts closed. A shock force
over the stated value will cause the switch to trip extending
the button and opening the contacts.
After actuation the switch has to be manually reset as
detailed,86.65.59.
