To adjust the pawl perform the
following steps:
1. Remove the escutcheon to gain
access to the head of the bolt
holding the adjusting eccentric.
2. Loosen the bolt slightly.
3. Grip the eccentric with a pair of
slip-joint pliers or a similar tool and
rotate the stop slightly.
4. Tighten the holding bolt with the
eccentric in the new position.
5. While charging the main closing
springs, using the charging motor
to drive the mechanism, observe
the ratcheting operation for
improvement.
6. If the ratcheting operation has not
improved, repeat the preceding
sequence until the ratcheting
operation is smooth. This may
require several charging cycles.
7. When the eccentric is properly set
replace the escutcheon.
Be sure the escutcheon is reinstalled
on the proper circuit breaker, since the
escutcheon contains the nameplate
with the circuit breaker rating and serial
number information. The serial number
of the circuit breaker is also attached
to the circuit breaker frame near the
ground connection on an engraved
serial metal plate. The serial number
found on the nameplate must match
the number affixed to the frame.

the hole beside the lower middle
insulator supporting the live part
assembly.
