6.  On the compartment door, rotate the 

teardrop shaped racking shaft access 

cover 

(Figure 5, c)

 clockwise to access 

the opening.

7.  To prepare the remote racking device 

for operation, insert the plug of the 

motor control box cord into the remote 

racking device twist-lock receptacle 

(Figure 7)

.  Turn the plug 1/₄ turn 

clockwise to lock the plug in  

the receptacle.

8.  Unlatch the racking device spring lock 

pin 

(Figure 8)

.

9.  Grasp the remote racking device by the 

top handle with the drive socket toward 

the circuit breaker 

(Figure 9, a)

.  Insert 

the drive socket into the racking shaft 

access opening until the socket engages 

the circuit breaker racking shaft.  With 

the drive socket in place, position the 

racking device support latch  

(Figure 10, a)

 onto the support lock pin 

(Figure 10, b)

.

10. Push down the top of the racking device 

support latch to close the latch  

(Figure 10, a)

.

11. Turn the spring lock pin to the lock 

position to secure the remote racking 

device to the support lock pin  

(Figure 11, a)

.

To avoid damage to equipment, and ensure 

proper racking operation, the circuit breaker 

racking mechanism must be engaged by the 

racking socket before the remote racking 

device is operated.  For proper operation, the 

racking device must be held securely by the 

support lock pin and the hanger support.

CAUTION

12. With the racking device locked onto 

the support lock pin, raise the racking 

device slide assembly.  Position 

the racking device close to the 

compartment door, and lower the slide 

assembly to engage the racking device 

support hanger 

(Figure 12)

.

13. With the racking device installed on the 

compartment door, turn the adjustment 

knob until it engages the drive socket 

with the circuit breaker racking shaft 

(Figure 13, a)

.

14. Physically move the motor control box 

to a distant area to operate the remote 

racking device.

The remote racking device is positioned 

and ready to be energized for racking the 

circuit breaker into the switchgear.
