Lift receptacle door and locate polarization on mating plug
and receptacle face.
2.
Insert plug into receptacle as far as it will go.
3.
Maintain pressure on plug and turn it clockwise as far as it
will go. Internal contacts of the receptacle are closed by this
action and complete the electrical circuit.
4.
Release plug, allowing it to move outwardly, slightly into a
locking detent position.
5.
To remove plug, press inward, turn counterclockwise as far
as it will go, and pull straight out.
MAINTENANCE
Perform visual, electrical and mechanical checks of all components
on a regular schedule. This should be determined by the environment
and frequency of use, but it is recommended that it should be at
least once a year.
1.
Make sure screws holding receptacle to back box are tight.
2.
Clean receptacle face with cloth dampened with water.
3.
Inspect face plate for damage.
WARNING
To avoid risk of explosion, if any part of the receptacle appears
to be broken or shows signs of any damage - DISCONTINUE
USE IMMEDIATELY. Replace or properly repair the item
BEFORE continuing service.
Figure 1
Replace devices if the flat machined surface is damaged,
scratched, dented or corroded. Field re-work of flat machined
surfaces is not possible.
In addition to these required maintenance procedures, we
recommend an Electrical Preventive Maintenance Program as
described in the National Fire Protection Association Bulletin
NFPA 70B: Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment
Maintenance (www.nfpa.org).
