How to use

To install the LOVATO Electric GLX61, ensure that the electrical system is de-energized and locked out according to standard safety protocols. Align the handle with the shaft of the compatible disconnector and secure it firmly according to the installation instructions provided with the switchgear. Once installed, the handle can be rotated to toggle the disconnector between the ON and OFF positions. Always verify that the handle moves freely and that the mechanical connection is stable before restoring power to the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the model number of your existing disconnector to ensure compatibility
• Check the mounting dimensions of your enclosure
• Ensure the handle color meets your facility's safety and color-coding standards

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the handle for signs of wear or mechanical damage to ensure continued safe operation. Keep the area around the handle clear of obstructions to allow for rapid access during emergency situations.
