Important Information
Regarding the Use of Rope Pull Emergency Stop Switches
In the United States, the functions that Banner rope pull emergency stop switches are intended to perform are regulated by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Whether or not any particular rope pull switch installation meets all applicable OSHA requirements
depends upon factors that are beyond the control of Banner Engineering Corp. These factors include the details of how the switches are applied,
installed, wired, operated, and maintained.
Banner Engineering Corp. has attempted to provide complete application, installation, operation, and maintenance instructions. This information is
found in the instruction manual packaged with each rope pull switch. Direct any questions regarding the use or installation of rope pull switches to
the factory applications department at the telephone numbers or address shown below.
Banner Engineering Corp. recommends that rope pull emergency stop switches be applied according to the guidelines set forth in standards listed
