The latching assembly includes a lockout lever that is responsive to movement of the lockout actuator that is pivotably supported by the frame 12, and a lockout trip rod responsive to movement of the lockout actuator. The latching assembly also includes a reset lever that is responsive to movement of the reset actuator and is also pivotably supported by the frame 12. The reset lever is configured to prevent movement of the lockout actuator without movement of the reset lever. The lockout trip rod moves between a locked out position and a non-locked out position.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
