19. CONTROL VOLTAGE SAFETY SERVICE SWITCH “HOOD SWITCH”
19.1. The VPL comes with a control voltage safety service switch (“hood switch”), a control voltage disconnect
(“switch”) that is located under the power head cover (“hood”) as shown (FIG. 19.1).
19.2. This hood switch is a magnetic reed switch which works in conjunction with a magnet mounted to the inside
of the hood on the angle (FIG. 19.1). When the hood is installed on the VPL, the magnet is in proximity to
the hood switch, causing the hood switch contacts to close, enabling voltage to the control box.
19.3. When the hood is removed, the magnet is no longer in proximity to the switch, causing the switch to open,
disabling control voltage to the control box.
19.4. When servicing the VPL, the EZ-ACCESS authorized technician may find it necessary to enable the control
circuit power with the hood off. This can be done as follows (FIG. 19.2):
19.4.1. Unplug Connector “A” from Fuse Block Tab “F4”.
19.4.2. Unplug Connector “C” from Connector “D”.
19.4.3. Plug Connector “C” to Fuse Block Tab “F4”.
Disabling the hood switch keeps the VPL control circuit energized. The VPL is electrically
active in this state and will operate if the control buttons are pressed or if the control
circuit is inadvertently jumpered.
Disable the hood switch at your own risk!
Always enable the hood switch electrical system when service is complete.
The hood switch does not remove battery power from the VPL motor circuit, only the
control circuit.
Only EZ-ACCESS approved technicians may service the VPL. Contact your dealer with questions or to schedule any
needed inspections, repairs, or service.
