Installing the Operator
CAUTION
Do not attempt to set the operator upright by sling-
ing to the skid. The skid is not designed to carry the
weight of the switch operator. Damage to the operator
and minor personal injury may result.
STEP 13. Wrap a lifting sling around the stored-energy
housing of the operator, as shown in Figure 20.
Carefully raise the operator to the upright position
so it rests on its skid, as shown in Figure 20.
CAUTION
Do not remove the lifting sling around the stored-
energy housing. The operator is top-heavy and must
be adequately supported until it is attached to the circuit-
switcher. Damage to the operator and minor personal
injury may result.
STEP 14. Remove the skid and bracing that runs the length of
the operator, stored energy housing, and operator
support tube. See Figure 20. Also remove the
protective cover atop the operator support tube as
well as the protective covers on the operator
enclosure louvers. See Figure 20 and Figure 21 on
page 19.
