not a certified Electrician attempts these tasks, they could damage the Lift or be
electrocuted, resulting in serious injury or even death.

electrical power to the Lift in the event of an electrical circuit fault, emergency situation, or when

the Lift operator. Refer to Install 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 Install a Thermal Disconnect Switch for more
information.

protected
.
