CAUTION
FIGURE 2: MANUAL CHARGING OF CLOSING SPRING
Charging the Close Springs
When it is desired to charge the Citadel Close spring manually – the high torque of the
differential gear box makes manual operation easy.
A simple technique to supplement this manual approach can be achieved by using the
end of the breaker’s manual charging tool in a speed regulated cordless drill.
Manually charging the closing spring (refer to Figures 2 and 2B pages 17 , 18)
Insert the hand crank through the front cover opening into the manual charging port.
Engage the charging tool into the charging port’s socket. Turn the charging tool
clockwise (approx: 50 turns) until the closing-spring indicator displays “CHARGED”.
As the manual charging process starts to pick up the close springs – the operator will
feel modest additional mechanical resistance.
As the Spring Charging Arm comes over the top of its stroke and the close spring fully
charges – you will hear a distinctive “click” within the mechanism
The breaker element is now Charged and ready to Close.
Manual closing - Press the close button on the Citadel front cover. The CLOSE/ OPEN
indicator will display “CLOSED”.
Since the Close Spring has now operated to perform the close function the closing
spring indicator will now display “DISCHARGED”.
