Close  accessory  into  the  circuit  breaker. 

1. 

Verify  that  the  rating  on  the  Remote  Close 
identification  plate  matches  the  electrical  data 
required  for  the  application,  as  listed  in  Table 

1. 

2. 

Tum  the  breaker  off and  discharge  the  closing 
spring  by  depressing  the  OFF  and  ON  buttons  in
