Varistream Push Dial Switch Sticking
« on: October 27, 2006, 12:17:09 am »
Hello All,

I'm having problems with my Varistream push dial switch sticking... I am able to press the switch in, but it doesn't automatically pop out again :(

Has anyone had any similar problems? Do you know how to fix it?

Thanks,
Andy

I had this problem, as it turned out I had tightened the nut that held it in place a little too much nipping up the spindle, try loosening it off abit should do the trick

I don't use the switch on the Varistream. I have a seperate toddle switch on my trolley. This cuts off the power coming from the battery. The Varistream switch is left on permanantly. Dai

Same as Dai,
Position a toggle switch ( metal is better) which has 2 terminals at the back somewhere convenient.
The red wire that goes to the varistream can be cut and extended if required to the situation where you have  the main red lead to the varistream going in to 1 terminal at the back and out the other one.
Make sure you disconnect the power lead to the varisteam before you start.
