Lever Positioning
Some rotary switches are supplied with levers that are 
mechanically coupled to the actuating shaft. The lever may be 
removed and re-installed for cam tracking adjustment. See 
table below for torque recommendations.

ATTENTION
Actuation Guidelines
The method of actuation and over travel has significant 
influence on the service life of the limit switch. To maximize 
the service life, it is recommended to provide an actuator with 
a 30° pressure angle and a surface hardness of Rc-45 max.
Maintenance
These devices require little maintenance, but routine visual 
inspection is recommended to keep foreign debris from 
collecting on the exterior actuators and rollers. Removing the 
operator head is not recommended as loose internal 
components may be lost or improperly re-installed.
Under no circumstances must the switch be actu-
ated beyond the mechanical travel specified. Seri-
ous damage to the device and property could 
result.
