lay the bottom mounting stand on its back and join the product to it while on the ground.

Direct Mount Cradle
The product can be directly mounted to the body of a transformer using the specially-
designed GE Direct mount cradle (Figure 7—2). The cradle reduces the effects of
transformer vibration on the product and provides an alternative space-saving secure
mounting solution to the aforementioned mounting stand. See Appendix K for vibratory
guidance on when the GE Direct Mount Cradle should be used. See Appendix L for the
Direct Mount Cradle installation instructions.
7.2.1
Locking mechanism
If the product is to be mounted on a transformer and then transported as a unit, the

then transported
