Contact the Electrician
As mentioned previously, there are installation tasks that require a certified Electrician.
⚠ DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician in accordance with
all applicable local electrical codes.
The Electrician needs to:
• Connect to power. The Power Unit comes with a pigtail for wiring to a power source. Have your
Electrician connect a power cord with plug to the electrical box on the Lift (for connection to a
power outlet) or have them wire it directly into the electrical system at the Lift location.
• Connect the Microswitch to the Power Unit. The Microswitch (which is next to the Safety
Shutoff Bar) must be wired to the Power Unit. The necessary wiring is included.
• Install a Power Disconnect Switch. Ensures you can quickly and completely interrupt
electrical power to the Lift in the event of an electrical circuit fault, emergency, or when equipment
is undergoing service or maintenance. You must put it within sight and easy reach of the Lift
operator. Refer to Installing a Power Disconnect Switch for more information.
• Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch. Ensures the equipment shuts down in the event of an
overload or an overheated motor. Refer to Installing a Thermal Disconnect Switch for
more information.
These installation tasks are described in detail in the following sections.
The Electrician is responsible for providing:
• A power cord and appropriate 220 VAC plug for connecting to an appropriate power source or the
items required to connect to the facility’s power system
• a Power Disconnect Switch
• a Thermal Disconnect Switch
Additional information is supplied in the following sections describing these tasks.
Electrical Information
⚠ DANGER All wiring must be performed by a licensed, certified Electrician in accordance with

implement them after connecting to a power source.
• Use a separate circuit breaker for each Power Unit.
• Protect each circuit with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker:
– For a 208 to 230 VAC, single phase circuit, protected by an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker
for the power unit delivered with the Lift.
