Installation
Pad-Mounted Style
Switchgear Placement
STEP 1.
At the installation site, remove all separately
packaged components (if any) that were 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.
CAUTION
Do not apply any undue force when attempt-
ing to open the hinged roof or a door. The
use of undue force may damage the latch-
ing 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.
