6. With the feeler gauge positioned in the gap, move the interlock lever and

the stop bracket closer to the isolation switch operating lever to reduce the
gap space. Tighten the stop bracket screws.

7. Tighten the nylock nut until it is snug against the contactor operating

lever. Do not overtighten the nylock nut as it will move the operating lever
and reduce the gap. Proceed to step 11.

To Increase the Gap Distance

8. Loosen the two screws in the stop bracket and move the stop bracket away

from the interlock lever.

9. Loosen the nyloc nut until the gap reaches the desired size.

10. Move the stop bracket until it just touches the interlock lever and tighten

the screws.

11. Apply Loctite 290 (or equivalent adhesive) to the stop bracket screws and

torque the screws to 8 N•m (6 lb•ft).

12. Move the isolation switch handle to the ON position.

13. Manually close the contactor by attaching locking pliers to the contactor

operating lever and pushing down until the armature plate contacts the
magnetic cores (see

Figure 50

). Verify that the interlock lever overlaps the

isolation switch operating lever by at least 3 mm (0.125 in.) (see

Figure 51

).
