Emergency stop switch installation:
The instructions apply ONLY to gasoline-powered fork trucks. If the truck designated for use
with work platforms is powered either by battery or diesel fuel, contact the truck manufacturer for installation
directions.
1)
Mount the fork truck junction box (5) in an
appropriate place on the designated fork lift (for
instance, on the operator roll cage/ overhead guard
as shown in FIG. 8 & 9 above). Fasten junction box
(5) to the lift truck with 4 bolts, 4 flat washers, and 4
lock nuts.
2) Disconnect the wire leading from the ignition coil
(key switch) of the lift truck. Attach the wire to 1 of the
receptacle terminals inside the fork truck junction box
(5).
3) Connect the appropriate wire from the (ignition)
key switch to the other receptacle terminal inside the
junction box (5).
4) Mount the work platform junction box (6) to the
mast guard. Position the junction box as shown in
Fig. 10. Fasten the WPJB to the inside surface of the
mast guard. Proper fastener order is shown in Fig. 11.
Use Instructions
a) To operate the fork truck without platform attached: plug the FTJB jumper cord into the socket in the FTJB (connect
the fork truck junction box to itself).
b) Work platform attached: unplug the jumper cord from the FTJB socket; then plug the male plug of the coil cord into
the socket of the FTJB. Pull the E-stop button out.
