We eat the flaming rivers at the rig on anything we have to start more than once a week. They like to burn up when starting or just short out period. Main reason we went with them initially was for the lock out tag out accessibility, but are now going back to the old one similar to the Cole Herssee ones

Same reasons we put them on. And took them off lol.

Cole has a bracket kit you can buy for the lock out which is what we went to.

You guys are making me scared now, I don't plan on using it that much, just when I work on it and I shouldn't be close to overloading it. I am just debating yanking it off and returning it while I can. I really don't want my truck to burn to the ground either.

Well I wouldn't use it. No safety device should have the word flaming in it. It's cheap compared to everything else too.

No device should have reference to Cleveland in it's name either. Flaming River.

That said I might have a new Cole Hersey disconnect in my tool box that you can have. If I find it when I get home next week I'll pm you and send it your way. I don't need it nor did I buy it.

Sorry if I got you guys into a crazy mindset. When I was reading the rulebook for my truck, I happened onto that rule.
For what I am doing it was relevant, I was unaware how it would affect your situations.

What is the hole size for that switch and what orientation is the pin? Currently the one i am using is a 1 3/16 inch main hole with the pin being 3/16 and the holes being 1 3/16 on center.
