2-6.3 LEVERING CIRCUIT BREAKER

!
CAUTION
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS
FULLY INSERTED INTO ITS COMPARTMENT
BEFORE ANY ATTEMPT IS MADE TO LEVER THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER. ATTEMPTING TO LEVER THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER IN BEFORE IT IS FULLY POSI-
TIONED INSIDE ITS COMPARTMENT CAN RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO BOTH THE CIRCUIT BREAKER AND
THE COMPARTMENT.
The circuit breaker is now ready to be levered. With the
circuit breaker OPEN, the levering device access door
can be raised. The levering device is hand operated
using a standard 3/8" square drive and ratchet, which is
not provided (Figure 2-11). As long as the access door
is raised, the circuit breaker is held trip free. Begin by
rotating the levering-in screw to the full counterclock-
wise (DISCONNECT) position.
Close the compartment door and begin levering the
breaker into its different positions using a clockwise
ratcheting motion. When the circuit breaker is levered
fully to the DISCONNECT or CONNECT position the
levering shaft hits a hard stop; do not exceed 25 ft.lb. of
torque or the levering mechanism may be damaged.
The circuit breaker can be levered with the compart-
ment door open or closed, but it is advisable to
close the door prior to levering. The position of the
circuit breaker within its compartment is indicated by
color coded position indicators (Red = Connect, Yellow
= Test, Green = Disconnect) (Figures 2-11 and 3-5). To
remove the circuit breaker from its compartment, follow
the procedure just described using a counterclockwise
ratcheting motion.
