Cutout Relay

  1. With armature in cut-in position, adjust bending of spring to "a".008-.020" (.20-.51 mm), by bending bracket "C". See illustration. 
  2. With armature in cut-out position, adjust gap "b" to 0.015 - 0.047" (0.38 - 1.19 mm) by bending "B" (stationary relay point). The necessary pressure "c" for closing the points has to be 4.22 oz. (119.6 gm). See illustration. 
  3. Adjust the cut-in voltage by bending bracket "C". If further adjustment is needed, bend stop "D". To increase the reverse current, decrease clearance "a" by bending "B" and vice versa.
