INSTALLATION

     WARNING

Connect the switch to stranded 

Female Quick-

Disconnect Wire 

Terminals

wire with insulated crimp type 
wire terminals.
The ON/OFF switch requires 
female quick-disconnect wire 
terminals with a 1/4" tab.
All crimps MUST be "pull-
checked" to ensure that wires are securely 
crimped. If crimps are not secure they may 
disconnect and fall out with moderate tension or 
when exposed to normal machine vibration.

     WARNING

 

-

This switch MUST be installed on 
an electrical circuit with a verified 
machine ground. In the event of certain 
malfunctions or breakdowns the grounding 
reduces the risk of electric shock by 
providing a path of least resistance for 
electric current.
