1. Bypass and remove the recloser from service as
described in this manual.
2. Confirm the dielectric strength of the recloser by
performing high-potential withstand test. Refer to the
High-potential withstand tests section of this manual.
3. Inspect the housing and lifting lugs for damage that
may affect electrical and/or mechanical performance.
If there is damage to either the housing or lifting lugs
they must be replaced or repaired.
4. Inspect module for damage to the terminals. Remove

rods (0.63” diameter threaded rods on top and side of
module for affixing terminals). If there is damage to the
module rods, the module must be replaced. Contact an
authorized service center or your Eaton representative.
6. Inspect the operating rod for damage. Check the
module surface and major and minor sheds for
cracks, holes, and major chips. If damage is present,
the module must be replaced. Contact your Eaton
representative.
7. If no damage is found, clean the module with isopropyl
alcohol and a scratch-free, nylon scouring pad to
remove any carbon deposit.
8. Before returning to service confirm electrical operation
by opening and closing the recloser with a control.
Confirm the dielectric strength of the recloser by
performing a high-potential withstand test. Refer to the
High-potential withstand tests section of this manual.
