On my Oneway, sometimes the pendant is positioned so that I can't see the stop button (not the emergency stop which protrudes and is quite large). So I can feel which is the stop, put a round adhesive dot of the hook side of Velcro on it. When I need to stop, I can feel which button is going to work and Viola! Stop.

Ya know.... you can change out the stop button to a bigger style without any problems. Just pull your switch and take it with you to an electrical supply house.They will fix you up in no time.

Howdy Steve........


I sure wish I had done that to my run/brake switch for the variable speed controller. It would have prevented the disaster I had because I reached down and inadvertently hit the forward/reverse switch. ((((gasp!)))) This was about a month ago.

I've already done another "fix" to the problem, which will be one of my "odie's crazy ideas" coming up soon......your idea would have worked, though.

There isn't alot of room on the pendant, I do have a remote stop also, with a Velcro dot on it. And way cheaper than a new button and soldering, and disassembly.... (I am part Scottish)
