Operation

Locking Out of the Grounded position

To prevent the operation of a load-interrupter switch or 
fault interrupter into the 

Grounded

 position, insert a 

padlock through the OPERATION selector and the right-
side hole of the locking collar. See Figure 26.

Locking Out of the Closed position

To prevent the operation of a load-interrupter switch or 
fault interrupter into the 

Closed

 position, insert a padlock 

through the OPERATION selector and the left-side hole of 
the locking collar. See Figure 27.

Locking In Closed, Open, or Grounded 

Position

To lock a load-interrupter switch or fault inter rupter into 
position, insert a padlock through the Operating disk and 
the center hole in the locking collar. See Figures 28, 29, 
and 30.
