STEP 13 - RUNWAY CONDUCTOR BAR INSTALLATION (SAFPOWRBAR®) (CONT.)

(for Safe-Lec Runway Conductor Bar Installation, go back to Step 12, page 18)

Coupling Conductor Bars (Continued)

13.7

 (See 

diagram 13G

 for complete assembly.) To

 

couple bars together, pull the two ends to be

 

joined apart and insert the coupling bar entirely

 

into the upper opening of one bar. Allow the

 

conductor bars to go back together and slide the

 

coupling bar half way into the adjoining bar so

 

that it is centered over the joint (

diagrams 13H

 and 

13J

).

13.8

  Center the coupling clamp over the joint and tip to a 30-45 degree angle. Press one end

 

over the bar (

diagrams 13K

 and 

13L

).

13.9

  Snap the coupling clamp down into place.
