Manual Closing.

For closing the mechanism
by hand, a manual closing device is available. To
close the breaker, it is attached to the lower end of
the piston rod which also serves as a guide for the
piston (see Fig. l ) . It should always be removed
when the breaker is to be operated by air, or tripped
from the closed position. An external tripping handle
is also provided on one side of the housing.
