Gap Setting for Vibration Switch

(Variable-Speed and Fixed-Speed

Models)

After the machine has been properly installed, the

vibration switch gap must be measured before

conducting the Control Function Test. Locate the gap

found between the vibration switch and the machine

structure. Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. To check

the gap setting of the switch, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the front panel on 18-50 models.

Remove the rear panel on 60-80 models. Remove

the top cover on the 125 model. The switch can

be seen inside the bottom right corner of the A-

frame, mounted on a bracket. Refer to Figures 1,

2, 3, 4 and 5.

2. Measure the gap distance when the switch is in

both the open and closed positions. The

specifications should be at the minimum switch

gap setting when the switch is open and at the

maximum switch gap setting when the switch is

closed. If these distances are not correct, adjust

the balance switch to these specifications.

NOTE: The standard position of the switch is open,

or non-tripped.

3. Tighten nuts on switch extension after adjusting

the gap. Measure the gap distance to verify

accurate setting.
