READ THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ THIS ENTIRE INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE EQUIP-
MENT AND ALL SAFETY-RELATED INFORMATION BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION, OP-
ERATION, OR MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES.
Safe use of this equipment is dependent on proper installation, operation, and maintenance proce-
dures. Follow all applicable local and national codes.
Do not attempt to service or perform maintenance activities on the equipment until it has been ef-
fectively de-energized, and all high-voltage and low-voltage bushing terminals have been properly
grounded.
Only qualified personnel should install, maintain, and operate this equipment. Qualified personnel
are those who are trained in the installation, maintenance, and operation of high-voltage equipment,
trained in the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and trained in appropriate first aid
procedures. Refer to NFPA 70E.
Do not rely solely on fuse removal or switch position as conclusive indication that a transformer is
de-energized. Be absolutely certain that a transformer is de-energized by checking for zero voltage
on all terminals.
Certain information in this manual is marked with the words DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION, which
indicate hazards as listed below.
DANGER
