I can't imagine even a manual operated tower with out limit
switches.

I'm sure I saw a Triasto manual out there last night. What model? Don't 
know.

I'll go see if I can find the manual.

Having internet problems. It should be running at least 70 to 100 Mbs. 
It's running 2, so, not sure whether I'll be able to answer.

Is anyone on TT familiar with this tower or perhaps have a manual that I could get a copy of? I want to make sure I get all the cabling and parts back where they belong. I have a call in to U.S. Tower but have not heard back from them. I saw that this tower did not have limit switches with it unless you purchased the remote control. Has anyone fabricated their own remote switch w/limits that they could share the diagram on? I am not familiar with how the limits mount on the tower or where. Many thanks!
