Handling
NOTICE
DO NOT drop a TripSaver II recloser or subject any
of its parts to undue stress during installation. Only
remove a TripSaver II recloser from the carton when
you are ready for installation.
Storage
TripSaver II Cutout-Mounted Reclosers are shipped
on pallets banded with plastic wrap. This packaging
is designed to protect the TripSaver II reclosers from
freight damage. This packaging is not suitable for
outdoor storage as it can pool water and damage
TripSaver II reclosers. After receipt, TripSaver II
reclosers should be stored indoors in their shipping
packaging. Storing TripSaver II reclosers outdoors in the
shipping packaging will void the warranty.
Returning
If for any reason a TripSaver II recloser is to be returned,
place the TripSaver II recloser in the original shipping
carton to prevent damage during shipping. If you need
additional shipping cartons, contact your nearest
S&C Sales Ofce, S&C Authorized Distributer, or S&C
Headquarters.
