Installation
Installation of the Elf™ and Cadet™ 3 Tongue Interlock Switches must be in
accordance with the following steps and stated specifications and should be
carried out by suitably competent personnel. The unit is not to be used as a
mechanical stop. Guard stops and guides must be mounted.
Adherence to the recommended maintenance instructions forms part of the
warranty.
ATTENTION: The presence of spare actuators can
compromise the integrity of the safety systems. Personal
injury or death, property damage or economic loss can result.
Appropriate management controls, working procedures, and
alternative protective measures should be introduced to
control their use and availability.

Maintenance
Every week, check the alignment of the actuator to the switch and the correct
operation of the switching circuit. Also check for signs of abuse or interference.
Inspect the switch casing and actuator for damage. Replace if needed.
At least every six months, isolate all power. Remove the lid and end cover. Inspect
all terminals for tightness. Clean out any accumulation of fine dirt. Check for any
sign of wear of damage, for instance, actuator wear, cam assembly wear, contact
oxidization and replace if needed. Replace cover and tighten screws to specified
settings. Reinstate the power and check for correct operation. Reapply tamper
evident varnish or similar compound for mountings.
WAR N IN G : Do not defeat, tamper, remove, or bypass this unit.
Severe injury to personnel could result.
