84. CIRCUIT BREAKER POINTS ([fig. 49]).
a. Circuit breaker lever is insulated from ground and connects to primary wire binding post by means of a “pig‐tail” wire. Stationary point is grounded to timer base and is movable in order to adjust circuit breaker points. Circuit breaker points that are burned or pitted should be renewed or dressed with a clean fine‐cut, contact point file. The file should not be used on other metals and should not be allowed to become greasy or dirty. CAUTION: Never use emery cloth to clean points. Contact surfaces, after considerable use, may not appear bright and smooth, but this is not necessarily an indication that they are not functioning satisfactorily.
b. Remove Breaker Lever.
(1) To disconnect condenser terminal, remove nut from end of condenser and remove gear‐toothed washer, plain washer, and the brass terminal strip. Do not remove fiber washer and plain washer located back of brass terminal strip on condenser terminal post.
