Step 9—Installing Operating Mechanism 

Either a swing handle or a worm gear 

mechanism is (normally) supplied for manual 

switch operation.

 

 

Swing Handle Operator  

To install the swing handle operator: 

With ground strap in place on vertical operating 

pipe, slide handle and handle lock plate over the 

end of the vertical operating pipe. Fasten the lock 

plate at the proper location.  Recommended height 

for the lock plate is 3 ft. 6 in. above ground.   

 

Note:

  

The lower end of the vertical operating pipe 

should extend through the lock plate at least 3 

inches.  It may extend as much as 3 feet or more, 

just so it doesn’t touch the ground or column 

footing.  

 

The lock plate assembly (Fig. 8) consists of two 

castings, mounted on the pipe guide plate, which 

can be easily adjusted in an arc to provide the 

required rotation.  These act as locks for the 

manual operating handle when it is dropped from 

the operating position.  The handle must be raised 

to a horizontal position for operation.  With the 

switch in the fully closed position, set the handle 

clamp so its set screws are 4 inches above the lock 

plate and its vertical centerline is at or near as 

possible to the closed position, see Fig. 8. 

Temporarily fasten the handle to the pipe with the 

set screws.  Operate the switch and move the 

adjustable lock castings until they exert pressure 

against the handle in both the open and closed  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

positions  of the switch. This provides a slight 

torsional wind-up in the operating pipe. Tighten the 

two piercing set screws on the handle clamp until 

holes are punched into the pipe and continue until 

the screws are firmly seated.
