™ circuit
breakers, as illustrated in Figure 1.
The complete kits are available in the following
catalog number variants:
• FENRN provides the necessary parts for shallow
door mount of the handle on the breaker
mechanism through the enclosure door, with a
box depth of 5 29/32“ (150 mm), as shown in
Figure 1a. Maintain the dimension “H” [5
1
/32” (127.8 MM)] as shown in Figure 12.
• FENRT is for mounting the handle and
operator in enclosures with variable depth, as
shown in Figure 1b. Maintain the dimension
“H” [Min 6 13/16“ inches (173 mm) and Max
15 inches (381.0 mm)] as shown in Figure 13.
In addition, the individual kit parts are available as
follows:
• FENRM1 consists of the operating mechanism
for shallow door mounts of the handle to the
breaker.
• FENRM3 consists of the operating mechanism
for extended shaft door mount of the handle.
• FENRH is the handle assembly only.

Step 2 – Install the Breaker and
Handle Operating Mechanism
1. Move the breaker handle to the OFF position.
2. Mount the breaker to the enclosure with the # 10-
32 x 3 5/32" screws [1], as illustrated in Figure 3.
Tighten the screws to 27 - 32 in-lb. Complete the
installation of the circuit breaker according to
installation instructions DEH40360.
3. Place the base-crank assembly [2] on the breaker,
as illustrated in Figure 4. Insert four #10-32 x 1/2"
screws [4] through the mounting holes in the
base and into the heads of the breaker mounting
screws [1], with the grounding wire [3] attached
to one of the screws. Tighten the screws to 27 - 32
in-lb. Secure the other end of the grounding wire
to a suitable ground location.
4. For kit FENRT variable-depth mounting only:
a. Measure the distance from the breaker-
mounting surface to the rotary handlemounting surface, H, as shown in Figures 8 &
13.
b. Cut the extension shaft [9] to the required
length “L” as illustrated in Figure 5.
c. Insert the shaft [9] upto 14 mm (35/64“ inch)
into the coupler [8] and secure it with #8-32 X
1
/32“ screws [7], as illustrated in Figure 6.
Tighten the screws to 16 - 20 in-lb.
d. Place the shaft [9] assembled with coupler
[8] on to the crank of the base-crank assembly
[2] and secure with #8-32
illustrated in Figure 7. Tighten the screws to 16
- 20 in-lb.

Step 3 – Install the Rotary Handle
1. Drill holes on the enclosure door to
accommodate mounting the handle assembly, as
shown in Figure 9. The handle location on the
door is illustrated in Figure 10. Be sure that the
larger hole in Figure 9 is centered over the end
of the crank assembly or the extension shaft, as
appropriate.
2. Place the rotary handle assembly [6] on the
door with the locating feature, shown in Figure
11, placed in the small hole drilled in step 1.
Handle to be rotated to OFF position while
locking as shown in Fig10.
3. Secure the handle assembly to the door as
follows, depending on which kit variant you are
using:
a. For kit FENRN, use the plastic nut [5] to
secure the handle to the door.
b. For kit FENRT, if the length L of the shaft
[9] is less than 9 13/16 inches (250 mm),
use the plastic nut [5] to secure the
handle to the door. If the shaft is longer
than 9 13/16 inches (250 mm), use the
funnel [10] to secure the handle to the
door.
4. Close the enclosure door and verify that the end
of the crank assembly or the extension shaft, as
appropriate, locks into the center of the handle
assembly, as illustrated in Figure 1.

These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide for every possible
contingency that may be met in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Should furthe
information be desired or should particular problems arise that are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s
purposes, the matter should be referred to the GE Company. The circuit breaker is a sealed unit that contains no
user-serviceable parts. Tampering with the seal will void the warranty.
