8. Maintenance
8.1. Warnings
WARNING: before proceeding with any maintenance operation, it is obligatory to:
-Oen the circuit-breaker and make sure that the springs of the operating mechanism are unloaded;
-if work must be performed on fixed circuit-breakers or on fixed parts, disconnect the power supply to the power
circuit and auxiliary circuits and visibly earth the terminals on both the supply side and load side;
-Set the equipment to safe conditions as established by the standards and laws in force.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Risk of electric shock or accident.
AB declines all liability for damage to persons or property caused by failure to comply with the instructions in this document.
The maintenance operations must be performed by skilled personnel with detailed knowledge of the equipment.
8.2. Maintenance program

(2) Extreme weather conditions, polluted atmosphere or vibrations can reduce the life of the application.
8.2.2. Maintenance program
We hereby include the table indicating the frequency with which maintenance should be carried out and the relative routine
maintenance operations required.
Compliance with the following rules is also recommended:
- Even circuit-breakers that are operated infrequently or that remain closed or open for long periods of time must be subjected
to programmed maintenance.
- Installation of the mechanical operation counter (supplied on request) is recommended for circuit-breakers equipped with LSIG
releases.
- During service, visually inspect the circuit-breaker from the outside to make sure there is no dust, dirt or damage of any kind.
