hex-head stainless-steel
cap screws used to attach the access cover to the side of
the transition box on the insulating support column. See
Figure 4. Remove the cover and place it and the hardware
on a clean surface. They will be re-used in Step 11(f).
Step 5
Prepare the interrupter for removal from the insulating
support column as follows. For Circuit-Switchers rated 69
kV through 138 kV, refer to Figure 5 (top); for Circuit-
Switchers rated 161 kV and 230 kV, refer to Figure 5
(bottom).
(a) Attach the spare stop bracket (marked with a
black/yellow striped label) and spacer (marked with a
black/yellow striped label) to the interrupter using the

ment interrupter, in a separate box.) Hand-tighten the
screw.
(b) Remove the pin retaining clip and connecting pin
which attach the coupling to the operating rod link.
Discard the connecting pin and pin retaining clip.

Step 6
Attach a suitable lifting sling to the interrupter lifting
bracket. Then remove the four
¹⁄₂
—13 stainless-steel hex
nuts and Belleville washers which attach the interrupter
to the transition box on the insulating support column.
See Figure 4. Retain this hardware for re-use in
Step 11(c).
Step 7
Carefully lift the interrupter from atop the transition box
of its associated insulating support column and lower it
to the ground. Place the interrupter on the ground
horizontally.
Use care to avoid damaging the exposed
coupling.

CAUTION
Do not lift interrupter vertically by the lifting rings on
the container.
