All statements, technical information and recommendations contained herein are based on information and tests we believe to be reliable. The accuracy or completeness thereof are not guaranteed. In 

accordance with Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds Division’s “Terms and Conditions of Sale,” and since conditions of use are outside our control, the purchaser should determine the suitability of the product for his intended 

use and assumes all risk and liability whatsoever in connection therewith.

ENCLOSURE DISASSEMBLY  

1.  Remove top cover.
2.  Disconnect supply conductors attached to line side of circuit breaker 

and those connecting the receptacle to load side of circuit breaker.

3.  Remove two screws attaching upper operating rod guide to the upper 

circuit breaker mounting bracket.

4.  Loosen 

BUT DO NOT REMOVE

, the four set screws holding the two 

mounting bracket shoes to the center section of the enclosure until 

the shoes are free to pivot. Remove circuit breaker mounting bracket 

assembly.

5.  Remove operating rod assembly by pressing assembly towards 

receptacle and rotating clockwise until it is free from operating arm 

shaft.

6.  Align square hole with interlock shaft and then remove operating rod 

assembly. 

7.  Remove the aligning and locking plate fastened to flat surface on 

right side of the receptacle. Unscrew receptacle assembly from EPC 

enclosure.

ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY  

1.  Replace receptacle assembly. Be sure that receptacle is rethreaded 

into enclosure to the original depth noted pre viously.

2.  Place aligning and locking plate over 1/4 inch pin on center section 

of enclosure and fasten plate to receptacle assembly using the two 

slotted hex head screws.

3.  With release lever in the depressed position, replace the circuit breaker 

operating rod assembly.

4.  Replace the circuit breaker mounting frame, circuit breaker and 

operating rod guide.

5.  Test the interlock mechanism, complete all wiring connec tions and 

replace upper cover.

INTERLOCK TEST  

With the Arktite plug removed from the receptacle it should be impossible 

to move operating handle to “on” position. 
Insert plug into receptacle. This should actuate the interlocking mechanism 

and allow the operating handle to be moved to ON position. The plug at this 

time should resist all normal efforts to withdraw it from the receptacle even 

while pressing the release lever. 
Move operating handle to OFF position, press release lever and withdraw 

the plug. It should again be impossible to move the operating handle to the 

ON position. 

ELECTRICAL TESTING  

Do not connect to power until the following electrical tests have been 

performed: 

•  Make continuity check of wiring to verify correct phasing and 

grounding connections.

•  Check insulation resistance to be sure system does not have any 

short circuits or unwanted grounds.

MAINTENANCE  

Electrical and mechanical inspection of all components must be performed 

on a regular schedule determined by the environ ments and frequency of 

use. It is recommended that inspection be performed a minimum of once a 

year. 

1.  Inspect all wire terminals for tightness. Discoloration due to excessive 

heat is an indicator of a possible problem and should be thoroughly 

investigated and repaired as necessary.

2.  Check grounding and bonding for correct installation and secure 

connection.

3.  Clean exterior surfaces making sure nameplates remain legible.
4.  Inspect housings and replace those which are broken.
5.  Check receptacle contacts for signs of excessive arcing or burning and 

replace if necessary. 

In addition to these required maintenance procedures, we recommend an 

Electrical Preventive Maintenance program as described in the National Fire 

Protection Association Bulletin NFPA No. 708.

WARNING

Electrical power must be turned 

off

 before and during disassembly or 

maintenance. 

!

CAUTION

Note depth that receptacle housing enters EPC enclosure housing for 

reference when reassembling later. 

!

WARNING

If any parts of the plug, receptacle or connectors appear to be missing, 

broken, or show signs of damage, 

DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY

Replace with the proper replacement part(s) before continuing service.
