5. Operation

Operating the Leviton Load Center primarily involves managing the circuit breakers. Each circuit breaker controls a specific electrical circuit in your property.

• Turning a Circuit ON/OFF: To turn a circuit on, push the breaker handle firmly to the 'ON' position. To turn it off, push the handle to the 'OFF' position.
• Resetting a Tripped Breaker: If a circuit breaker trips (moves to a middle or 'OFF' position), it indicates an overload or fault. First, identify and resolve the cause of the trip. Then, push the breaker handle firmly to the 'OFF' position, and then back to the 'ON' position to reset it.
• Observation Window: If an optional window door is installed, an observation window allows for at-a-glance operating status of all circuit breakers.

• Cleaning: Keep the load center interior and exterior clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, non-abrasive cloth.
• Tighten Connections: Over time, electrical connections can loosen. Have a qualified electrician periodically check and tighten all terminal screws.
