Reconnecting the circuit from the cable to the
apparatus bushing
A. Remove U-OP protective cap’s drain wire from
system ground.
B. Grasp the operating eye of the U-OP protective
cap, but do not pull it into the clampstick. Rotate
it counterclockwise until the cap’s threads are
completely disengaged from the U-OP stud and
remove the protective cap.
C. Lubricate the exposed bushing, if necessary.
D. Grasp the operating handle of the “U” but do not
pull it into the hotstick. Rotate counter-clockwise
until the operating shaft is completely disengaged
from its mating stud. Refer to Figure 11.
E. Reorient the “U” as shown in Figure 12, with the
long leg over the apparatus bushing, the short leg
over the exposed deadbreak junction interface, and
the operating shaft over the mating stud.
F. Rotate the handle clockwise until the operating
shaft is completely threaded onto its mating stud.
G. Verify that the U connector is fully installed by ensur-
ing that the operating shaft is on far enough to cover
the indentation in the mating stud. See Figure 10.
H. Remove the grounded standoff bushing from the
parking stand.
I. Remove the grounding elbow from the T-OP II.
J. Install a protective cap or elbow arrester on the
200 A interface of the T-OP II. (Refer to Figure 13.)
Figure 13. Install protective cap or arrester.
