The following procedure describes how to install a Microswitch on the Overhead Assembly, but does
not describe how to wire it, which is covered in Wiring the Microswitch.
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:
1. Locate the Microswitch, the Microswitch Cover, the Bolts, and the Nuts required to install the
Microswitch.
Each Microswitch comes with an individual cover that covers the connection points and wiring at
the top of the Microswitch. The Microswitch Cover covers the Microswitch from the bottom; it bolts
onto the Microswitch Bracket.
2. Put the Microswitch into position in the Microswitch Bracket such that the Safety Shutoff Bar,
when moved upwards, will push up the Trigger.
The following drawing is a side view showing the Safety Shutoff Bar getting pushed up and
triggering the Microswitch.
When the Trigger is pushed up, it completes the circuit and cuts power to the Power Unit,
stopping the Lift from rising any further and thus preventing the top of your Vehicle from hitting the
Overhead Assembly.
3. If you are installing a second Microswitch, put it into position next to the one you just installed.
4. Use the Bolts and Nuts to secure the Microswitch in place.
5. Bolt the Microswitch Cover into place.
6. Use an appropriate lifting device to put the Overhead Assembly into position.
Make sure the Microswitch Bracket is on the Powerside.
7. Bolt the Overhead Assembly to the top of the Posts using two Bolts and Nuts on each end.
