Built with a plastic rocker and screw terminal connections, the 3014187 is intended as a direct swap for compatible electric dump body tarp systems and anti-ice controls where simple, tactile control is preferred over latching switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this switch control tarp and anti-ice systems?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double-momentary design gives operators separate open and close positions that are active only while the rocker is held.
