Figurt 6.3. Status Indicators (“A” shows tht spring indication 

and “B” shows tht contact status indication.)

Figurt 6.4. Wrapping Tapt Around Cam

Sttp 1 -

 On the front cover, identify the status indicators. Confirm 

the closing spring status indicates ‘Discharged’ and the main 

contact indicator shows ‘Open’ (Figure 6.3).

Sttp 2 -

 Remove the circuit breaker front cover. Be sure to save the 

original fasteners for reassembly.

Sttp 3 - 

Charge the circuit breaker, close the circuit breaker, then 

open the circuit breaker. Alternately depress the Open and Close 

clappers a few times to ensure the circuit breaker is completely 

discharged.

Sttp 4 -

 Cut a piece of one inch wide drafting / masking tape 

approximately 8 to 10 inches long.

Sttp 5 -

 Clean the far left cam with a mild solvent such as alcohol. 

Place the tape around the cam starting from the bottom up. Make 

certain that the tape adheres well to the cam surface. (Figure 6.4).

Sttp 6 -

 Mount the transparent CloSure™ Test Tool (Figure 6.5.b) 

with two bolts and washers. Refer to Figure 6.5.a and Table 6.1 

for approximate mounting holes. Hand tighten the bolts.

Sttp 7 -

 Using a red Sanford

 Sharpie

®

 fine point permanent marker 

(or equivalent), place the marker tip in the proper hole (“C”) 

located over the cam and make a heavy mark on the tape by 

moving the marker as described in Figures 6.7 and 6.11. Remove 

the marker from the hole.

Sttp 8 -

 Charge the closing springs with the maintenance tool 

(Charging handle). Continue charging the closing springs until a 

“click” is heard and the status indicator shows ‘Charged’ (Figure 

6.6).

Sttp 9 -

 Place the marker back in the hole. While holding the marker 

tip against the tape, close the circuit breaker (Figure 6.8). Remove 

the marker from the hole.

Sttp 10 -

 While closely observing the pole shaft at the left side of 

the circuit breaker (Figure 6.9), recharge the closing springs with 

the maintenance tool. As the circuit breaker is recharged, there 

should be no movement of the pole shaft. If there is movement of 

the pole shaft while recharging, this indicates a problem with the 

circuit breaker - stop the test and consult the factory.

Sttp 11 -

 Open the circuit breaker, then close it, then reopen it. 

Verify that the mark made in Step 7 is aligned with the pen 

opening. If it is not aligned, this indicates a problem with the 

circuit breaker - stop the test and consult the factory.
