The attached video is ONLY to supplement the INSTRUCTIONS that come with the kit. PLEASE make sure to read the instructions and all the below safety information that is located in the instructions BEFORE working on any electrical equipment.

A PDF copy of the complete instructions is attached below the video.

Danger label

Make sure to turn OFF ALL power supplying the equipment and verify the power is OFF using a properly rated voltage sensing device BEFORE working on or with electrical equipment.
Once all safety steps are followed, begin the kit installation by following the steps in the instructions.

These steps 1-10 are for mounting in any of the 30 to 100 amp safety switches:
1) Make sure all power SUPPLYING the switch is turned off.
2) Place the end of the interlock pivot arm (A, Figure 1) into the opening on the mechanism(B, Figure 1) and Rotate the interlock (C, Figure 1) with the Snap switch and insulator(D, Figure 1) toward the back of the switch enclosure.
3) Hook the notch of the interlock frame (E, figure 2) under the tab on the mechanism housing (F, figure 2) and the Square Hole in the interlock frame should fit over the Square post on the mechanism housing (Figure 2).
4)Push the interlock assembly down onto the mechanism housing making sure the interlock frame sits flat against the back of the enclosure and the mounting hole of the interlock frame (G, Figure 3) lines up with the mounting hole in the enclosure.
NOTE: The interlock assembly should fit tightly against the mechanism housing as shown in Figure 2
5) If the enclosure does not contain a mounting hole, use the mounting hole in the interlock frame(G) as a template to mark the location and drill a 11/64 inch (4.32mm)(no. 17) hole into the enclosure.
6) Secure and ground the interlock assembly with the self tapping mounting screw (H, figure 3) and torque the screw to 30 lb-in (3.4 N-m).
7) Affix the contact rating label inside the switch enclosure near the interlock assembly.
8) Wire the control circuit to the Electrical interlock switch and make sure to route the control wires so they don't interfere with the switch operation.
9) Turn the switch operating handle to ON and OFF positions to verify proper operation. The switch should close and open normally.
10) Follow the step #9 in the instructions to re-energize the switch.

FOR MOUNTING IN A 200AMP GENERAL DUTY OR HEAVY DUTY SAFETY SWITCH SEE PAGES 3 & 4, STEPS 1-8, OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.
