Follow inspection procedure as outlined

Manually Operated Breakers.”

in “Inspection 

In addition the following steps are recommended:
16. From wiring diagram locate 

 on secondary

contacts and connect proper control power supply and
controls for shunt close and shunt trip attachments.
Close and open breaker five times electrically and

check for proper operation.

17. Disconnect control power supply. 

 and 

 

breaker manually. Do not leave breaker in the charged
and/or closed position while in storage.

18. Move shunt close solenoid 

 

 

release closing springs without control power.

SECTION Ill   Installation

Before installing breaker in cell, check following points
inside cell:

1. 

 contact support when supplied 

 make

sure all connections are tight and adjusted to proper
dimensions.

2. Ground connections should he tight.

3. Extension rails should be free to 

 in and 

check rail stops for tightness.

4. Rail rollers should be free and well lubricated.

5. Main 

 stabs should be tight 

 free of dust

and dirt. Lubricate with contact grease.

6. Check condition of insulating 

 plate in roof of

case. Screws should be tight.

7. Remove control 

 fuses.

8. Place breaker 

 fully extended 

 rails. Make

 

 four rollers 

 

 inside grooves (Outside

grooves fit into stationary rails inside cell). (Figure 7).

Figure 7

9. Draw-out mechanism on breaker should be in 

position.

10. Push breaker inside the cell until racking-i” cranks

engage a positive stop. This is the OUT position.

11. Close and fasten the door. The metal mask provided

on outside of front box 

 

 freely back 

 it

 in contact with the door. The door should 

all the way with the breaker in the OUT position.

12. Push 

 interlock to left, insert 

 lever

1101-9251, (Figure 8) into the bottom hole of the

 mechanism and, with 

 up-stroke, rack

breaker into the 

TEST 

position. 

Remove 

 lever,

 interlock plate should snap into position com-

pletely covering 

 holes.

13. Install control power fuses, energizing the circuit. The

motor will 

 the stored energy mechanism. The

closing and tripping control 

 become energized

in the TEST position.

14. Open 

 and make sure that grounding contact in

cell is in 

 with the breaker. Close door and

check breaker 

 for proper closing and

opening operation.

If breaker operates properly, rack breaker back to OUT
position and leave there until ready to be put into service.
