STEP 6 CONNECT ELBOW AND BUSHING PLUG
1.
Clean the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing and lubricate with the lubricant supplied.
LUBRICATE ONLY IF THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE KNOWN TO BE DE--ENERGIZED.
2.
Use a fully insulated hot stick to place the elbow on the bushing. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND. DO NOT SEPARATE IF
ENERGIZED.
Hotstick
Clean and Lubricate only if known to be de--energized
STEP 7
BAIL ELBOW
1.
Pull hold--down bail up over the crown or top of elbow
so that the eyebolt on the bail is directly over the
operating eye.
2.
Tighten down on elbow locator by turning eyebolt in a
clockwise direction. Adjust the nut on the eyebolt
until it allows the eyebolt to seat securely in the locator.
The nut should act as a stop to prevent the eye
bolt from applying excessive force on the elbow. Once
the nut is in final position, it will not have to be
readjusted when removing and replacing elbow.
Operating Eye
VOLTAGE TEST
ELASTIMOLD connectors equipped with an integral capacitance test point can be used to establish whether or not the
circuit is energized. When using the test point, complete the following steps:
1.
Remove test point cap with a hotstick. When removing cap, PEEL OFF AT AN ANGLE rather than pulling directly in line
with the test point assembly.
2.
WARNING:
THE VOLTAGE TEST POINT IS A CAPACITANCE DEVICE, IT IS NOT DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE
CONDUCTOR. Do not use conventional voltage measuring equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the
meter that is used. Test with a suitable sensing device, made for use with separable connectors manufactured with
capacitive test points, to determine if cable is energized. Contamination, moisture, dirt, etc. around the test point or use
of the wrong measuring equipment can provide a false “no voltage” indication on an energized elbow. To prevent
serious or fatal injury treat the elbow as energized until the “no voltage” test point indication is confirmed by other means.
3.
After voltage detection has been made, clean the inside surface of the cap and lubricate with lubricant supplied;
replace it on the test point.
