SECTION 4: INITIAL SET-UPāMECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL
1. Set up Bucket Truck or object under test. If testing a Bucket Truck, it is recommended to place outriggers
and tires on insulating pads.
2. The area to be used for the test must provide sufficient mechanical and electrical clearances. The
approximate weight of each section is available from the nameplates or the Specification Page.
3. If the unit is to be operated indoors, be sure the floor will be strong enough to support the unit.
If outdoor operation is to be used, the site for the base must be capable of supporting the unit
without any settling that would tilt the assembly.
4. Position the High Voltage Transformer Tank and Control Unit as necessary for operation.
5. Clean entire High Voltage Unit so as to remove all traces of any surface contamination. The cleaner should
be nothing stronger than ordinary household cleaner. Cleaning should also include the High Voltage
Electrodes.
CAUTIONj:
When setting up the Bucket Truck, ensure that there are no overhead safety hazards such as live
power lines.
