Troubleshooting
Handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Check for obstructions around the handle mechanism. Ensure the cam switch it is attached to is functioning correctly and not binding. If the issue persists, inspect the mounting screws for overtightening.
Handle does not engage the circuit breaker
Verify that the handle is correctly and securely attached to the cam switch mechanism. Confirm that the cam switch is the correct model for the intended circuit breaker and has been installed properly.
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Check the mounting screws that secure the handle to the cam switch mechanism. Tighten them appropriately. Ensure the cam switch itself is securely mounted to its intended surface.
Black finish is worn or scratched
Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For significant damage, replacement of the handle may be necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials.
