7.2 Adjust Actuator 

 

 

 

1)   With the breaker closed, and the actuator reset, adjust the 

position of the actuator rod by screwing it in or out until 
the end of the rod is about 1/64" from the trip paddle. 

 
 

2)   Trip the breaker. Trip the actuator by striking the reset 

knob. Lock the actuator rod in position by tightening the 
10-32 set screw with an Allen wrench. 

 
 

3)   Adjust the stop nuts as necessary to limit the actuator rod 

travel within the limits of the trip bar. 

 
 

4)   With the actuator reset, close the breaker. If the breaker 

will not close because the actuator rod is interfering with 
the trip paddle, re-adjust the

 

position of the actuator 

rod. 

 
 

5)   Operate the actuator by lightly striking the reset knob. 

The breaker should trip. Verify that the trip paddle is not 
against its limit of travel. 

 

7.3  

Verify Trip Free Operation of the Manual Reset 
Actuator 

 
 

It is very important to verify that with the manual reset 
actuator in the trip position it will keep the breaker trip 
free. 

 
 

1)   Attempt to close the breaker without resetting the 

actuator. The breaker should trip free, if not, increase 
the actuator rod travel. 

 
 

2)   Repeat the above until completely satisfied with  the 

operation of the actuator. 

 

IMPORTANT: 

WHEN THE ACTUATOR IS IN THE TRIP POSITION    
(NOT RESET), THE BREAKER MUST BE TRIP-FREE. 

 
 

 

 

THE SET SCREW IN THE PLUNGER MUST BE TIGHTENED 
TO ENSURE THAT THE ACTUATOR ROD REMAINS IN 
PROPER ADJUSTMENT.
