Installing the Microswitch
The following procedure describes how to install a Microswitch on the Overhead Assembly but does
not describe how to wire it; wiring is covered later in the installation. The Microswitch wiring goes
over the Overhead Assembly and down the Powerside Post to the Power Unit.
If you have two Microswitches because you are using a three-phase Power Unit, simply install the two
of them next to each other in the Microswitch Bracket.
To install the Microswitch:
Locate the Microswitch, the Microswitch Cover, and hardware required to install the Microswitch.
Put the Microswitch into position in the Microswitch Bracket such that the Safety Shutoff Bar,
when moved upwards, will push up the Trigger.
If you are installing a second Microswitch, put it into position next to the one you just installed.
Use the supplied hardware to secure the Microswitch and Microswitch Cover in place.
Use an appropriate lifting device to put the Overhead Assembly into position, making sure to
position the Microswitch Bracket on the same side as the Powerside Post.
Bolt the Overhead Assembly to the top of the Posts using two Bolts on each end.
Do not scale.
