ampere switches.

1. Remove the linearactuatoras described in Linear


Actuator Removal and Replacement section for
150 to 260 Ampere switches. Follow steps 1
through 8 in the Removing Actuator section.
2. Remove the hex head capscrews, locking
washers, and flat washers that secure the inter-
lock bar to the interlock arm (Figures21 and 22);
and remove the interlock bar.
3. Remove the round head machine screws and
mounting plate that secure the handle assembly
t o the switch assembly; and lift off the handle
