DANGER
Remove all protective shipping caps and replace with an approved insulating cap or connector prior to the
junction being submersed or the circuit energized. The protective shipping caps are intended to keep the
interfaces clean during shipping and handling and should never be used on energized equipment.
Step 1 - Prepare Feed-thru
A. Ground
Attach a #14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent) to the ground
lug of the Feed-thru bracket and attach the free end of the
grounding wire to system ground. See Figure 1.
B. Remove Shipping Cap
Remove the shipping cap and inspect the product taking
care to keep the interfaces free of contaminants. See
Figure 1.
C. Clean & Lubricate
Clean and lubricate the 200A interface with supplied
silicone lubricant packet or Hubbell SL150 silicone tube.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Other lubricants may be harmful.
See Figure 1.
Step 2 – Install Feed-thru
A. Attach Hotstick
Attach an insulated hotstick to the eyebolt of the Feed-thru
and secure tightly. See Figure 2.
B. Install Feed-Thru
Using the insulated hotstick, slide the bracket disk into the
apparatus parking stand. Rotate the eyebolt clockwise
until it firmly wedges the Feed-thru to the parking stand.
(Do not over-tighten) See Figure 3.
NOTE: Rotation of the eyebolt may be easier if the hotstick
tool is partially loosened from the eyebolt.
Step 3 – Cover Feed-thru
Install the mating products of the Feed-thru following the
instructions supplied with the mating products.
See Figure 4.
NOTE:
If the Feed-thru is not to be immediately mated
with a mating product, replace the shipping caps to keep
the bushing interface free of contamination.
NOTE:
DO NOT energize or submerge the apparatus with
the shipping cap on the Feed-thru.
