Installation
Vault-Mounted Style
Switchgear Placement
STEP 1.
At the installation site, remove all separately
packaged components (if any) that were shipped
with the switchgear assembly and set them aside.
STEP 2.
Remove switchgear assembly from its crate and
lift it into place, observing the precautions given
under the “Handling” section on page 10. See
Figure 7.
CAUTION
For vault-style switchgear assemblies mounted
in the horizontal orientation (catalog number
suffix “-V3”), the clearance between the back
of the bus work and the floor of the vault is
approximately ½-inch (13 mm). Be sure the
floor beneath the switchgear assembly is clean
and level.
Failure to follow this precaution
may result in damage to the switchgear
from contact with the floor or from contact
with foreign objects lying on the floor.
STEP 3.
Secure the switchgear assembly in place using
½-inch fasteners (supplied by user).

switchgear assemblies are similar.
