2-14. Load Break Switch Installation
a.
General.
Prior to installation of switch,
adjustments and alignment checks should be made to
insure proper operation.
CAUTION
To check operation of load break switch it
must be operated slowly with the power
springs blocked. See TM 5-6120-250-12.
b.
Checks and Adjustments.
(1)  Upper(closed) mechanism stop.  The
upper buffer stops, (3, fig. 2-3 ) located on either side of
the mechanism at the ends of the main crank shaft, must
be adjusted to position the operating rod cranks when the
switch is closed. Operate the switch to the fully closed
position. The operating rod (8, fig. 2-4! must go over
toggle approximately 1/l inch at the crank connection,
when the switch is closed. A simple means of measuring
the correct toggle angle is to place a straight edge along
the upper side of the operating rod. Extend it until it is

(2)  Primary wipe. The operating rod must
fully close the switch primary blades to obtain the correct
primary finger wipe.  With the switch in the closed
position, pull the top of the primary contact blades (I 1,
2-5) to the front with your hands to remove
connection clearances. There should be I / 64 to I / 32
inch clearance between the buffer stop 18) and the
primary blade stop (1, fig. 2-6). There should also be 3/
16 to I / 4 inch between the edge of the primary blade and
the front of the primary contact support. Adjust the length
of the rod by use of the adjusting nut (6, fig. 2-41 to
obtain the 3 / 1 6 to I / 4 inch gap then adjust the buffer
stop (8, fig. 2-5) by adding or removing shims to get the I
/ 64 to I /32 inch clearance.
