Operation
Next, bring the TripSaver Dropout Recloser toward its
fully open position as shown in Figure 23. Then remove the
Loadbuster Tool from the pull-ring by rotating the pole. This
will deflect the pull-ring latch to release the pull-ring. Because
the TripSaver Dropout Recloser will drop fully open by grav-
ity, it may be preferable to remove the Loadbuster Tool by
“rolling” it off both the attachment hook and pull-ring at the
same time, by twisting the pole after the Loadbuster Tool has
been tripped and fully extended. To perform this operation
easily and smoothly, always roll the Loadbuster Tool so that
it rotates in an upward direction.
STEP 6.
To reset the Loadbuster Tool for the next operation,
hold it as shown in Figure 24. Extend the tool
slightly and lift the resetting latch with your thumb.
With the latch up, telescope the tool completely so
the trigger can reset itself. Depress the telescoping
tube until the orange paint on the inner tube
assembly is no longer visible. Check for proper
resetting by extending the tool about three inches
(77 mm). Throughout this travel an increasing
spring resistance should be felt.
