(see fig. 16)

Control 100% by sight

The alignment is controlled by:

the main contact knife which must be

aligned with the main contact.

Control 100% by sight

The arcing knife runs straight and moves freely 

in the arcing chamber, and makes full  

engagement with the fixed arcing contact.

Must be adjusted
