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-

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.
