Section 3 Operation
DO NOT override the safety shutdown circuit. This can result in injury to
workers and damage to equipment.
Ensure that the Dynaswitch triggers both the increasing and decreasing
load function as planned. Stop the machinery and adjust the switch or
setup if a problem exists.
Ensure the automated machinery setup is working properly. If it is not, stop
the machinery and adjust either the Dynaswitch or the other components
of the setup until it does work properly.

Service Instructions
Service the Dynaswitch at least once every six months (more often if it is
exposed to extreme climate or working conditions) according to paragraph
4-2, below. In addition, check the accuracy of the microswitch at least
once every six months (more often if it is part of a setup which receives
frequent use) and reset the microswitch as required. Switch setting
procedures are outlined in paragraph 2-6.
A. Attachment Fittings - Check for unusual wear, deformation, looseness
and corrosion. Replace if damaged or loose. Clean off corrosion; oil
compression steel ball fitting as required.
B. Micro-Switches - Replace if wires are frayed or if the connection
plunger or housing is damaged in any way.
C. Overload Stop - Make sure no foreign material is present in overload
stop gap, since this could cause errors.
D. Adjustment screws, overload devices, switch and screw mounting
brackets - Replace the component if it is damaged or deformed
enough not to work as designed.
E. Force Beams - Cleaning corrosion and painting are the only authorized
services. If the force beam has suffered damage or permanent
deformation, replace the entire Dynaswitch.
