QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE IMPORTANT: When locating the switch, verify that the minimum diameter for the loop of the cable between the switch mechanism and handle mechanism is not less than 6 inches. Any reduction to the diameter of the bend loop for the cable will reduce the efficiency of the cable system, and create additional drag and friction within the cable conduit. IMPORTANT: Verify that the cable assembly does not interfere with any mechanical and moving parts. Keep the cable conduit a minimum of /" from all heat sources and current carrying terminals, fuses, transformers, etc. Disconnect Switch Installation Switch Size Panel Mounting Dimensions AA BB CC DD EE (4) Mounting Plate Holes " " 4-3/4" -3/8" 9/3" Dia.
