2.0 Installation, continued
2.6 Ground-mount Installation, continued
Before installation verify the following:
• All necessary grounding rods and materials are in place.
• Utility power is on site in accordance with the NEC (National Electric Code).
• Review and comply with all local safety practices for working with high-voltage systems.
• All necessary permits and permissions are granted.
• The lifting/transport path is free of obstructions.
To perform the installation procedures, have the following tools and materials on hand:
• Crane to lift enclosure from shipping pallet and place on pedestal (optional).
• Key to enclosure doors (p/n 745-306-21–Hex Key Kit).
• Torque wrench with insulated handle and 9/16" socket.
• Standard ratchet for 9/16" socket.
Installation Procedure:
1. Remove the strap or fasteners securing the enclosure to the pallet.
3. For the lifting option, attach the lifting straps/cable to the lifting ears attached to the top of the
enclosure (see Section 2.3 for more lifting information).
4. Verify all cabling passing through the enclosure is bundled and maintained within the cutout area.
5. Position the enclosure above the pad and slowly lower it into position over the pad’s 3/8" anchor,
J-bolts or threaded inserts.
6. Secure the enclosure using stainless flat washers, lock washers and 3/8" nuts (or bolts for precast
pad) at each mounting location and torque to 50ft-lbs.
7. When installation is complete, remove the lifting ears.
The enclosure MUST be loosened from the pallet BEFORE lifting the enclosure from the truck
and placing it on the pad. Damage such as broken welds, corrosion, etc., resulting from improper
installation are not covered under warranty.
CAUTION!
Enclosures may be top heavy and could tip if not properly supported. Always support the
enclosure while removing fasteners or strapping before lifting it from the pallet.
WARNING!
To prevent damage, enclosures must be mounted flush with a smooth surface and not over-torqued. The
enclosure must be bolted down to a completely flat surface. If the concrete pad is uneven or has bumps,
cracks, or other imperfections, the installer is responsible for correcting these defects prior to installing the
enclosure.
