14) Open the contactor. Verify that the interlock lever and the rod move

freely and that the return springs move the assembly back to the starting

position.

To avoid shock hazards, lock out incoming power before

working on the equipment. Verify with a hot stick or ap-

propriate 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.

2) Inspect the grounding of the isolation switch blades. When the isolation

switch handle is in the OFF (open) position, the isolation switch blades

must fully engage the ground pins of the ground bar. The isolation

switch blades must also be within 0.060 in. (1.5 mm) of the ground bar

when the handle is in the OFF (open) position (see Figure 3.9). When

the isolation switch handle is in the ON or closed position, the blades

must fully engage the line stabs (see Figure 3.5).

3) To adjust the distance from the blades to the bar, disconnect the

threaded connecting rod at the isolation switch operating lever (see

Figure 2.16).

4) Turn the threaded connecting rod to lengthen or shorten it. This will

adjust the position of the isolation switch blades in the ON and OFF

position.
