D. Rotate the clampstick counterclockwise until U-OP
operating shaft is completely disengaged from the
mating stud. Refer to Figure 7.
E. Once U-OP operating shaft is completely
unthreaded but is still positioned on the stud, pull
clampstick completely onto handle and engage anti-
rotational tabs.
F. Reorient the U connector so that the short leg of
the “U” is over the grounded standoff bushing, the
long leg of the “U” is over the apparatus bushing,
and the operating shaft slides over the mating stud
mounted on the parking stand. Disengage the anti-
rotational tabs from the clampstick. Refer to Figure
8.
G. Rotate the clampstick clockwise until the operating
shaft is completely seated on the mating stud.
H. Verify that the U connector is completely seated by
ensuring that the operating shaft is on far enough to
cover the indentation in the mating stud. See Figure
10.
I. Install U-OP protective cap over the exposed
bushing of the 600 A deadbreak junction by rotating
clockwise until the cap is completely seated. Refer
to Figure 9.
J. Attach U-OP protective cap’s drain wire to system
ground.
K. Repeat steps A to I for the remaining two phases.
