The electric racking device weighs 20 lbs. 

and the motor control box assembly weighs 

5 lbs..  The preferred method for moving the 

electric racking device and motor control box 

is to place them securely on a hand operated 

shop cart.  When handling the electric racking 

device, personnel should securely grasp the 

device by its handle during movement and 

installation to avoid possible personal injury or 

damage to the electric racking device.  Avoid 

dropping or hitting the electric racking device 

with hard objects.

Protect the motor control box and the racking 

device from moisture.  Failure to do so may 

cause damage to the equipment.

CAUTION

CAUTION

!

Do NOT handle or carry the racking device 

by the power cords.  Damage to the power 

connections may cause an electrical short.  

The power cords should be inspected for any 

signs of damage before each use.

c.  o

perAtIon

Do NOT work on an energized circuit breaker.  

Follow circuit breaker safety guidelines and 

operating instruction provided in the specific 

circuit breaker instruction bulletin.

WARNING

WARNING

!

Attaching and operating the electric racking 

device can be accomplished by one person.  

When circuit breaker racking is required, the 

electric racking device engages the racking 

shaft through the access window on the 

front of the switchgear.  The racking device is 

operated by the motor control box.

When racking in a circuit breaker, move the 

circuit breaker to the required switchgear 

location.  Push the circuit breaker in to the 

switchgear compartment until the anti-rollout 

latch engages the switchgear rollout stop 

block.

For more information on the circuit breaker 

handling, see the instruction bulletin for the 

circuit breaker in use.
