To avoid shock hazard, lock out incoming power (see

page 5-3) before working on the equipment. Verify

with a hot stick or appropriate voltage measuring

device that all circuits are voltage free. Failure to do

so may result in severe burns, injury or death.

1) Complete the Power Lockout Procedure (see page 5-3).
2) Inspect the auxiliary contacts for wear, scorching or heat damage.

Replace any damaged contacts. The contacts have a mean time

between failure (MTBF) rating of 20 million operations if used

within the operating specifications.

3) To remove the contact, turn both of the D-head fasteners until the

flat sections are aligned with the edge of the contact (See Figure 5.14).

4) Remove the contact from the housing.
5) Disconnect the wires from the auxiliary contact.
6) Reverse the procedure to replace the auxiliary contact.
7) Ensure the contact is correctly positioned into the contact carrier

(See Figure 5.14).
