Installation
Figure 17. Release the latches on the “hold-open”
mechanisms (circled) and lift the roof to the second, more
vertical position (shown).
NOTICE
ALWAYS follow proper cable-installation
practices. When installing cable that will be
attached to the switchgear, provide a strain-
relief segment to minimize the load on the
bushings. Cables must be allowed to expand
and flex without putting a significant load on
the bushings. For a pit, either loop the cable
in the pit or bring it into the pit horizontally
and up to the gear at a 90º angle.
Failure
to follow these precautions can result
in damage to the bushings and bushing
wells.
STEP 4.
Install cable-support brackets in accordance
with the appropriate reference drawing included
in the installation and operation information
kit. See Table 2.

STEP 5.
Terminate the cables with user-furnished
separable insulated connectors, following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
