Handle Operation
The mechanism operates with a rotary motion from
the OFF/RESET position to ON.
In FCNRC/D, FCNRCN /DN, when the breaker is
ON, the interlock arm prevents the enclosure door
from opening. If it is necessary to open the door
with the breaker ON, turn the interlock defeat screw
clockwise to disengage the interlock arm.
To lock the handle in the RESET position, pull the
hasp out of the end of the handle and through the
slot in the door ring, as shown in Figure 2. Attach a
padlock through the slot in the hasp to prevent the
handle from rotating. The locking hasp accepts up
to three padlocks with 1/4-inch shanks.
