Square D 9998IL1 Starter Internal Lever

Product Description

The SQUARE D 9998IL1 is a replacement internal lever designed for use with manual motor starters. This actuator component serves as the mechanical interface that transfers operator force to the internal switching mechanism of the starter. It is a direct-service accessory intended for field replacement when the original lever is worn, broken, or missing. Electricians and maintenance technicians working on motor control equipment will find this part straightforward to source and install. At 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component sized to fit within the starter housing.

This internal lever is used in industrial and commercial electrical installations where manual motor starters control single-phase or three-phase loads. Typical applications include light machinery, pump panels, compressor disconnects, and other motor branch-circuit control points where a manual starter provides local on-off switching and overload protection. It is suited for both new installations requiring replacement hardware and maintenance scenarios where a damaged lever must be swapped out to restore proper starter function.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for motor branch-circuit control equipment. Disconnect and lock out all power to the starter before disassembling the unit or removing the existing lever. Verify the replacement lever seats fully and moves freely through its range of travel before closing the enclosure and restoring power. Do not force the lever into position, as improper seating can prevent the starter from operating correctly.
