To avoid shock hazard, lock out incoming power before

working on the equipment. Verify with a hot stick or

appropriate voltage measuring device that all circuits are

voltage free. Failure to do so may result in severe burns,

injury or death.

1) Move the isolation switch handle to the OFF position and open the

controller door.

2) Inspect the auxiliary contacts for wear, scorching or heat damage.

Replace any damaged contacts. The contacts have a mean time between

failure (MTBF) rating of 20 million operations if used within the oper-

ating specifi cations.

3) To remove the contact, turn both of the D-head fasteners until the fl at

sections are aligned with the edge of the contact (See Figure 5.3).

4) Remove the contact from the housing.
5) Disconnect the wires from the auxiliary contact.
6) Reverse the procedure to replace the auxiliary contact.
7) Ensure the contact is correctly positioned into the contact carrier (See

Figure 5.3).
