Reassembly
Be sure that the control voltage stamped on the replacement coil is the same as
the coil voltage on the nameplate.
1. Install the new coil in the magnetic frame. Position the frame with the seam
facing the base. Position the new coil with the small hole outward and slide i t
into the right side of the magnetic frame.
2. Install the coil assembly onto the base (cam/core fits into the coil). Be sure the
magnetic frame is flat against the base. On 2–...6–pole contactors reinstall
and hold the lower actuator while reinstalling the leafspring and nameplate
onto the magnetic frame. The leaf spring is not used on 8–...12–pole
contactors. Then reinstall the two screws and tighten them to 10 in–lb. See
