Manual tripping
A closed recloser can be tripped manually, from inside the
operator cabinet by moving the RESET-TRIP knob to TRIP
or from outside the cabinet by pulling down the yellow
MANUAL TRIP PULLRING under the cabinet. When the
recloser is manually tripped, the closing circuit is opened to
prevent reclosing. Refer to Figure 14.
Manual closing
Closing springs must be charged prior to manual closing
operation (see the Testing Operation section of this manual).
There are two ways to manually close the recloser. Refer to
Figure 14.

knob to RESET and push up on the MANUAL CLOSE
LEVER.
2. From outside the operator cabinet, push up the yellow
MANUAL TRIP PULLRING, then pull down on the
MANUAL CLOSE PULLRING.
