VersaRupter MV Indoor Switch | Installation and Operation Manual

Installing the Left Hand Shaft Extension
The left hand shaft extension allows for the operation of
the VersaRupter from the left side of the switch. The op-
erating mechanism is always mounted on the right side of
the switch so it is necessary to install a left hand shaft
extension if operation from the left side is desired or re-
quired. Applications for motor operation and mechanical
interlocking with the ground switch can also be utilized
with the left hand shaft extension. The extensions vary in
length dependent upon VersaRupter pole spacing but gen-
eral installation is always the same.
1. Install the ring retainer onto the shaft extension and
loosely slide the white plastic retainer onto the shaft
as shown in figure 34.
2. Slide the shaft extension through the hollow jackshaft
located on the left side of the switch where a similar
white plastic retainer is bolted to the switch frame as
shown in figure 35. The loose white plastic retainer
should align with the stationary bolt threads.
3. Slide the shaft extension through this opening until it
reaches the operating mechanism located on the right
side of the switch. Rotate the shaft while applying
pressure until the key way drops into the slot of the
mechanism and will not rotate any longer.
4. Secure the white plastic retainer with the provided
nuts and lock washers using a 13 mm socket as shown
in figure 36. Use caution while tightening to prevent
cracking the plastic.
