Shallco Rotary

[txheat]

One of my coleman rotary switch (electroswitch) lock tight (hard to turn dial knob). I bought a shallco rotary locally, the numbers are not directly on each hole therefore im not sure which hole is for which. Can someone shed some light?

I'd recommend you return the Shallco and get an Electroswitch. Shallco are junk and won't last. If you're going to use the Shallco, the numbers are on top of the screw holes.

They are Junk!!!! Didn’t even last a year, got 4 replaced and already one is starting to give me trouble. I had to upgrade to 10 position when I added features, previous switch lasted over 14 years. Junk!!

Thanks for all the replies. I had to buy shallco for a temporary fix. But i ran into a problem. i double checked with another bay wiring, I dont get any high pressure. I notice the foam brush and conditioner works but no rinse or high pressure functions. any suggestions?

You probably left off the jumper between positions 11 and 21 on the switch.

A good thread to read below for some of the new owners. I haven't changed a switch since discovering this mod!

Something most seem unaware of is lubricating the switches. I use WD 40 with that little red tube that comes with it. About twice a year stick the red tube in an empty hole and flood the thing.

Does it have power on that second stack when it is in that position?
