Installing a Power Disconnect Switch
⚠ WARNING
A Power Disconnect Switch is
not provided with this
equipment.
A Power Disconnect Switch is a National Electrical Code
(NEC) requirement. They are designed to interrupt main
electrical power in the event of an electrical circuit fault,
emergency situation, or when equipment is undergoing
service or maintenance.
Make sure to install a Power Disconnect Switch that is
properly rated for the incoming power source.
Your Power Disconnect Switch must be readily
accessible and installed so that it is in easy reach of the
operator or in their line of sight. The Power Disconnect
Switch must be clearly marked to indicate its purpose.
The figure to the right shows a toggle-style Power
Disconnect Switch located between the Lift’s power
source and its Power Unit. A quick flip of the switch
immediately cuts power to the Lift.
In the case of the GP-7, the location directly above the
Power Unit is being used by the Lowering Handle, so
your Electrician may want to move the Power
Disconnect Switch location up a little.
⚠ DANGER Installing a Thermal Disconnect Switch
must be performed by a licensed,
certified Electrician.
Have the Electrician select a
UL-listed Power
Disconnect Switch.
