Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the CR 117268 rocker switch control?
A: The CR 117268 is a genuine Crown OEM rocker switch designed for third speed selector control on Crown GPW Walkie Electric Pallet Jacks, M Series Stackers, and PE 3000 Series electric lift trucks. This switch selects between turtle (slow) and rabbit (fast) speed modes for load handling.
Q: What are the electrical ratings of the CR 117268 rocker switch?

The switch is also rated 0.25 horsepower at 125 to 250VAC for motor control applications. These ratings ensure safe operation of the third speed circuit.
Q: How does the turtle and rabbit actuator work on CR 117268?
A: The CR 117268 uses a turtle and rabbit rocker actuator to toggle between two speed modes. The turtle icon selects slow speed for precise load placement or heavy loads. The rabbit icon selects fast speed for general handling. The rocker toggles to maintain the selected mode until the operator switches it.
