The alternative is to lay it on its back with the lever at the front. Wiring should run through proper armoured protection sleeves anchored in the large holes in the base. Should be connected after the contactor / DOL "switch" / NVR switch. A Dewhurst is by design very slow actuating and will suffer contact erosion if used as a power switch. Used as direction selector before turning the power on it will last pretty much forever. Clive.
