4. MAINTENANCE

Electrical and mechanical inspection of all 

components must be performed regularly. It is 

recommended that inspection be performed a 

minimum of once a year.

•    Inspect all contact wire box terminals for 

tightness 

(Retorque).

 Discoloration die to 

excessive heat is an indicator of possible 

problems and should be thoroughly investigated 

and repaired as necessary.

• Check grounding and bonding for correct  

installations and secure connections 

(Retorque).

 

WARNING

If any parts of the plug, receptacle or switch appear 

to be missing, broken or show signs of damage:

DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY!

Do not modify these devices in any way

Replace with proper replacement part(s) 

supplied by Killark before continuing service. 

Failure to do so could cause serious or fatal 

personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Check gaskets for deterioration and replace if 

necessary.

• 

Clean exterior surfaces making sure 

nameplates remain legible.

• 

Inspect clamp guide assembly and cable grip 

tightness to ensure proper cable gripping.

Torque all screws as described in instructions 

before reusing device.

Inspect housing parts and replace those which 

are broken or excessively worn.

• 

Check contacts for signs of excessive arcing or 

burning and replace if necessary.

• 

Check receptacle thread used for plug locking
