Step 5
Remove 200 A protective cap
Using a clampstick, remove 200 A loadbreak protective cap
from 200 A loadbreak reducing tap plug. See Figure 14.
Step 6
Test
Using appropriate voltage sensing meter, test through 200 A
interface to verify circuit is de-energized. See Figure 15.
Step 7
Re-install 200 A protective cap
After circuit has been verified as de-energized, using a
clampstick, re-install 200 A protective cap on loadbreak
reducing tap plug. See Figure 16.
Step 8
Install Cleer grounding elbow
Using a clampstick, install Cleer grounding elbow on load-
side 600 A loadbreak bushing. See Figure 17.
Area must be clear of obstructions or contaminations that
would interfere with the operation of the loadbreak elbow.
Securely fasten a clampstick to the pulling eye of the
grounding elbow.
Place the grounding elbow over the bushing, inserting
the white arc follower of the probe into the bushing
approximately 1-1/2” (38 mm) until a slight resistance is felt.
This will align and stabilize the elbow.
Turn your back to the bushing and grasp the clampstick
securely and obtain good footing. Slam the elbow onto the
bushing with one quick and continuous motion.

WARNING
All associated apparatus must be de-energized during
installation or maintenance.
WARNING
Do not ground energized cable.
WARNING
The operator should always use personal protective
equipment (insulated gloves, clampstick and eye
protection) whenever operating the elbow. The operator
should always be in the best possible operating
position, providing firm footing and enabling a secure
grasp of the clampstick, while maintaining positive
control of the elbow before, during and immediately
after operation. If there is any question regarding the
operator’s operating position, de-energize the elbow
before operation. The operator should not be looking
directly at the connector during the moment of circuit
interruption or connection. Failure to comply could
result in death or serious injury.
