Hazardous voltage . This device is not a substitute for
a visible disconnect . Follow all locally approved safety
practices . Failure to follow proper safety practices can
result in contact with high voltage, which will cause
death or severe personal injury .
With the recloser connected as shown in Figure 8, close
the source-side disconnect switch. Move the yellow manual
operating handle under the sleet hood to the CLOSE
position as indicated on the head cover. The recloser should

WARNING
Hazardous voltage . Do not rely on the open position
of the yellow operating handle or the contact position
indicator; it does not ensure that the line has been
de-energized . Always establish a visible disconnect .
Failure to follow proper safety practices can result in
contact with high voltage, which will cause death or
severe personal injury .
Manual operation of an energized E, H, or L group recloser
requires a hotstick engagement of the yellow operating
handle located under the sleet hood. When the handle
is pulled down, the mechanism is tripped to open the
main contacts. When the handle is pushed up, the main
contacts close.
Non-reclosing operation
When the non-reclosing lever (Figure 2) has been manually
pulled down into the non-reclosing position, any current
over minimum-trip rating will automatically lock open
the recloser on the first trip operation instead of cycling
through the normal operating sequence. This immediate
lockout protection is especially desirable for hot-line work.
However, the non-reclosing lever does not interfere with
manual recloser operation. The recloser can be opened
or closed manually regardless of the position of the
non-reclosing lever.
