Instructions for Mounting Switch Stands and Ground Throws

 

 

1)   The travel on our stands and throws can be altered by turning the adjustment screw on the crank. Sunset Valley switches have a ¼” throw, other switches may differ. You should adjust the travel to be slightly more than the throw of the switch, so that the switch points push against the outer rails and hold tight against them at each end of the stroke.

2)   Bend a 3” long hard brass or stainless steel wire as shown. Best size is .040” diameter. Make a slight dogleg to give it a spring action.

3)   Drill a hole in the switch throwbar for the wire.

4)   Either 2 or 4 holes should be drilled in the switchstand for mounting

5)   Insert the wire into the adjustment screw and throwbar, and put the stand on the headblocks. Test for correct action, and make adjustments as necessary.

6)   Mark hole locations, drill and screw the stand to the headblocks. Bend back the wire in the adjustment screw to prevent it coming out.
