Section 7: Lubrication
VacClad-W switchgear is designed so that lubrication is not required
under normal conditions . However, abnormal local conditions such
as high humidity, salt-laden atmosphere, corrosive gases, or severe
circuit operating conditions may demand the use of lubricants . All
mechanical parts have been lubricated during assembly with molyb-
denum disulphide grease (Eaton Material No . 53701QB) . The appli-
cation of the lubricants should be held to a minimum to reduce the
accumulation of dust and dirt .
7.1 Where to lubricate
1 . MOC switch (refer to #9 in Figure 15) – Grease (Eaton Electrical
Material No . 53701QB) should be applied to the three locations
where the rotary switch assemblies link to the Push Bar assem-
bly (see Figure 16) . This should be done at least every three
years .

Section 8: Renewal parts
When ordering renewal or spare parts, include as much information
as possible . In many cases, the style number of the new part can
be obtained from identification on the old part . Always include a
description of the part . Specify the rating, structure number, and
shop order number of the switchgear housing in which the part is
to be used .
