WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Danger of death from explosive gases under the on-load tap-changer head
cover!
► Ensure that there are no open flames, hot surfaces or sparks (for exam-
ple caused by static charging) in the immediate surroundings and that
none arise.
► De-energize all auxiliary circuits (for example tap-change supervisory de-
vice) before removing the on-load tap-changer head cover.
► Do not operate any electrical devices during the work (for example risk of
sparks caused by impact wrench).
► Only use conductive and grounded hoses, pipes, and pump equipment
that are approved for flammable liquids.
NOTICE
Damage to the on-load tap-changer!
Small parts in the oil compartment may block the diverter switch insert,
thereby damaging the on-load tap-changer.
► Ensure that parts do not fall into the oil compartment.
► Check that all small parts are accounted for.
1. Make sure that inspection window is sealed off with cover.
