The Elkhart Brass 46054000 positioning magnet is a 1/4″ diameter x 1/4″ long replacement component for the Sidewinder Electric 8494-01 monitor. It works with the monitor’s position-sensing system to establish travel limits.
Use this magnet when replacing a missing or damaged component at a service location calling for part 46054000. Correct placement and orientation allow the sensor to detect the intended stopping position; only one end of the magnet activates the sensor.

| Service procedure | Remove system power before service; follow Elkhart’s procedure for any powered orientation checks. Do not use power tools on the manual override nut. |
