The auxiliary switch mounts on top of the plat­
form to the left of the operating mechanism. (See
Figs. 15 and 15A). The contacts will carry 15
peres continuously or 250 amperes for 3 seconds.
The switch is a shaft-operated, 4-pole, rotary type
having two "a" contacts (closed when the breaker

is closed) and two "b" contacts (closed when the
breaker is open) . The rotor operates through a
60-degree angle and is non-adjustable, however,
the oontacts may be changed from "a" to "b" or
vice versa. To change, remove the switch from the
platform, remove the back cover, shaft and end
bushing. Remove the rotor and change the contacts
as desired. Be sure to replace the shaft in the orig­

Inspection. Remove the front cover and make
sure the contacts are touching well before the end
of travel.
Maintenance. Check for loose bolts. Replace
contacts if necessary.
