Packing
An S&C erection drawing is stored in a water-resistant
envelope attached to the interrupter container on one of
the three circuit-switcher pole-units. If the Mark V Circuit-
Switcher has had a Type CS-1A Switch Operator specified
for the installation, the operator drawings will be included
in the main drawing envelope. Study the erection drawing
carefully and check the bill of material to make sure all
parts are at hand.
Storage
NOTICE
Connect control power to the switch operator when
storing it outdoors� The Type CS-1A Switch Operator is
equipped with a space heater that must be energized
during storage to prevent condensation and corrosion
within the operator enclosure�
If the switch operator must be stored before installation,
keep it in a clean, dry, corrosion-free area to protect it from
damage. Make sure the crating rests firmly on the ground
and is reasonably level. Shoring under the crate may be
necessary if the ground is uneven. If storing outdoors,
connect control power to the space heater inside the switch
operator per the wiring diagram furnished.
Handling
Lift the Type CS-1A Switch Operator with a lifting sling
looped around the switch operator output shaft. See
