GENERAL INFORMATION

The Shaft handle mechanism provides a means of exter-

nally operating the circuit breaker and can be applied to

enclosures of varying heights and depths. The handle

can be used with NEMA 1, 3R, and 12 enclosure applica-

tions, plus NEMA 4 and 4x applications, depending on

the accessory components selected. An operating han-

dle, flexible shaft, and mechanism are required for stan-

dard applcation. Three lengths of shafts are available for

use with the range of depths of various enclosures (4', 5',

and 6'). When selecting the length of the Flexible Shaft,

ensure Minimum Bending Radius of 5 inches is main-

tained to operate properly. The flex shaft assembly is
