Swing Handle
The swing handle operator is a common manual operator for most group operated switch styles and ratings. The swing handle assembly is provided with stops to prevent overtravel when opening or closing the switch. The swing handle is padlockable in both the open and close positions. All swing handle components are fabricated from steel. Metallic clamp-on position indicators and a tinned copper ground strap are standard. A switch nameplate is attached to the swing handle.

Pump Handle
In some applications a reciprocating operator is most appropriate.
