Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hotstick

Supplies needed:

Grounding Plug (with mounting hardware), Lubricant

  1. Connect to System Ground and Lubricate

    Connect the flexible lead of the grounding plug to system ground, ensuring enough slack for hotstick operation. Clean the interface of the grounding plug and lubricate this surface using only the supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant. Do not substitute other lubricants as they may be harmful. Always replace the protective cap when the grounding plug is not in use. DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation.

  2. Park the Grounding Plug Assembly

    Attach a hotstick to the eye of the grounding plug carriage assembly. Slide the carriage assembly into the parking stand.

  3. Attach De-energized Elbow Connector

    Follow the applicable instructions for the (K)655LR /755LR to determine that the elbow connector is de-energized before removing it from the apparatus bushing. Remove the elbow connector from the apparatus bushing and place it onto the grounding plug. DANGER: Do NOT remove the elbow connector if it is energized. All deadbreak connectors must be de-energized before operating.
