Step 8
This step describes how to adjust the cables to ensure proper
functionality of the cable interlock setup . Cable adjustments are
made with the large bulkhead nuts ONLY and with all breakers
OPEN . Nuts on the rod ends should not be moved .
Begin by adjusting or verifying that the threaded section of all
bulkhead fittings are approximately centered on the cable mounting
brackets, allowing for room to adjust in either direction . Hand tighten
the nuts at this time .
Perform initial adjustments on the driven (long rod) end of cable
until the gaps identified in Figure 12 through Figure 15 are as
specified . Figure 12 through Figure 15 show the position of the
interlock assembly driven "And" lever based on the state of the
interconnected breakers .

If there is too much clearance, adjust both bulkhead nuts to retract
the cable housing (move threaded portion down) .
If there is no clearance, advance the cable housing in the same
manner (move threaded portion up) .
If additional adjustment length is needed, the bulkhead nuts on
the other (drive) end of cable can be used .
When the proper clearance is attained on the driven end, torque
both cable bulkhead nuts to 11–13 N·m (100–120 in-lb) without
moving the bulkhead fittings .
After the driven end has been adjusted and the bulkhead nuts have
been tightened, perform adjustments on the drive (short rod) end
of the cable . Adjust the bulkhead nuts up (move threaded portion
down) such that the gap between the drive lever and the interlock
assembly base shown on Figure 10 is less than 8 mm .
When the gap is less than 8 mm, torque the cable bulkhead nuts on
both ends to 11–13 N·m (100–120 in-lb) .
