ASSEMBLY OF
EQUIPMENT
(coni.)
14.
Install the breaker hoist. When supplied
with indoor
equipment,
this
is shipped
completely assembled in a sep-
arate carton. To install it, remove
the
lifting
plates
from
the front of the equipment. Lift the hoist into
position
on
top
of
the
switchgear
so
that
the end with the single
roller
is toward the
rear
of the equipment. A channel is
provided
on the top of the equipment
which serves as the track for
the single
wheel
on the
rear of the hoist assembly. If
space
is
available at the end of the equipment, the hoist may
be
assembled
by sliding
the
rear wheel under the top
leg
of
the channel and then
lifting the front end of the hoist over
the
stop clip and
positioning
the front wheels so that they
will
straddle the
tapered front track. If space
at
the ends
of the equipment is
restricted,
the
angle which is bolted to
the hoist side
frames immediately in front of the single
rear
roller must
be removed. The rear wheel can then be
hooked under the channel and
the front wheels
can
be
positioned
on the front track. The retaining angle
at
the
rear should then
be
reassembled.
Stop clips are
provided
at each end of the front
track to
prevent
the hoist from
riding
off the
ends
of the
track.
When a hoist is
provided
with outdoor equipment, it
is
shipped mounted and
secured in
place.
The
yellow
ship-
ping
supports
at either
end
of
the
hoist
movable track must
be
removed as shown in
Figure 14. To free
the
hoist
dolly,
remove
the wire that is
used to keep it in
place
during
shipment.
15. Before
placing
breakers in the equipment, check each
breaker
compartment for
bolted
joints
in the
primary
dis-
connect
bars.
Where
such
joints
exist, check
the
bolts for
tightness, Refer
to Table A for the
proper
torque values.
Also
check the contact
areas on each
primary
disconnect
bar or cluster
of fingers for foreign matter
that may have
accumulated.
Clean these areas if necessary.
Be sure
that
a thin film of
D50H47
grease
covers
the
contact
areas
before
putting
a breaker in the compartment.
Check to see that the
breakers
match
their respective
compartments. Each
breaker is assigned
a
part
or mark
number.
This number is
shown
on the
breaker sheets of
the
summary, the front view drawings, the breaker name-
plate,
ahd
on the identification card on the breaker ship-
^:-- ^^+^-
Prrrli
Lar Lwrr.
To locate
the breaker in the
proper
compartment, refer
to the breaker
location
list on the front
view
drawing.
Find
the
proper
breaker by the identification card on the breaker
carton, or the mark number on the breaker nameplate. All
identical breakers will
have the
same
mark number.
BREAKER INSERTION
Before
installing or operating a breaker,
refer
to the
breaker
instruction
manual for
preoperation
inspection and
test.
Check thoroughly for any
damaged
or loose
parts
and
for any dirt or foreign matter
which
may
be
in the breaker.
Be
sure that a thin film
of
D50H47
grease
is
present
on
disconnects
before
installine the breaker.
