Installation
Pad-Mounted Style
Switchgear Placement
STEP 1.
At the installation site, remove all separately
packaged components (if any) shipped within
the pad-mounted gear enclosure and set them
aside.
STEP 2.
Unbolt the switchgear assembly from its
skid and lift the unit onto the mounting
pad, observing the precautions given under the
“Handling” section on page 10. See Figure 10.
Refer to the catalog dimensional drawing
furnished and verify the enclosure is positioned
correctly and the unit is properly aligned with
respect to the anchor bolts (or fl ush anchors).
STEP 3.
Level the enclosure using metal shims (user
provided) as required between the mounting
pad and the enclosure. Then, secure the
enclosure to the pad using the anchor brackets
provided (see anchor-bolt detail on the catalog
dimensional drawing). Make sure the hinged
roof section and all doors open and the latch
closes without binding. Binding indicates
enclosure distortion that must be corrected by
additional shimming.
Access to Interior
STEP 1.
Remove the shipping clamp from the padlock
recess. See Figure 11.
STEP 2.
Insert a pentahead socket wrench or tool (or a
hexhead socket wrench or tool if catalog
number suffi x “-H1” is specifi ed) into the hinged
roof latching mechanism. Rotate the wrench or
tool 360°
counterclockwise
to unlatch the
hinged roof. See Figure 12.
NOTICE
Do not apply any undue force when
attempting to open the hinged roof or a
door. The use of undue force may damage
the latching mechanism. If optional key
interlocks are provided, make certain the
interlocks are in their correct positions to
allow door opening.
Figure 12. To unlock the hinged roof, turn the pentahead
socket wrench 360°
counterclockwise
