7. Close the contactor by using the TEST control circuit in the starter. Insert
a feeler gauge of 0.065 in. (1.65 mm) into the overtravel gap of a bottle
assembly (Figure 4.7). Rotate the insulator until the gap is correctly set.
Repeat this step for the two remaining bottles. This step must be
performed accurately because it establishes synchronization between the
three vacuum bottles.

8. With the contactor still energized, measure dimension A1 for all three
bottles (Figure 4.8). De-energize (drop out) the contactor and measure
dimension A2 for all three bottles. The contact gap is the difference of A2
minus A1. Record the gap for all three bottles.
