Circuit Breaker Assembly Instructions
1. Remove the two screws that connect the handle link to the
pivot assembly.

lock washers which secure the handle to the enclosure
flange. These screws are located on the underside of the
enclosure flange. Remove the old handle assembly from
the enclosure.
3. Remove the lever assembly from the panel and replace it
with one provided. The mounting panel may need to be
removed to access the mounting screws.
4. Hardware has been provided to mount a new circuit
breaker if necessary.
5. Install the new handle assembly onto the enclosure.
6. Reinstall the two 1/4 -20 screws and lock washers.
Make sure the handle housing is sealed against the
enclosure flange as this prevents the entry of moisture.

pivot assembly.
9. Verify that the handle mechanism turns ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ the
circuit breaker.
