2-4. If an optional terminal end cover is to be installed with the
circuit breaker (usually line end only), it must be positioned before
cable is connected to terminals .
CAUTION
WHEN ALUMINUM CONDUCTORS ARE USED, THE APPLICATION OF
A SUITABLE JOINT COMPOUND IS RECOMMENDED TO REDUCE THE
POSSIBILITY OF TERMINAL OVERHEATING. TERMINAL OVERHEATING CAN
CAUSE NUISANCE TRIPPING AND DAMAGE TO THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
2-5. After mounting the circuit breaker, line and load terminals and
accessory leads should be connected . (See accessory schematic
diagram on side of circuit breaker.)

If terminal shield or interphase barriers are to be installed on the circuit
breaker, install them after the terminals are connected .

2-6. If required, install terminal shield on circuit breaker cover with
mounting screws provided .
2-7. If required, install an interphase barrier by sliding barrier into
dovetail grooves between terminals .
2-8. After the circuit breaker is installed, check all mounting hard-
ware and terminal connecting hardware for correct torque loading.
Torque values for line/load terminals are given in Tables 1, 2, and 3
and on the circuit breaker nameplate.
