    the switchrack-mounting frame is designed for. If not using one of the recommended footing designs, warranty may be voided in the
    event of damage due to high winds.

    PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR
    ENERGIZING
    Each piece of apparatus mounted to the switchrack frame will be
    secured with steel bands used for shipment. These steel straps
    are there to relieve stress on the mounting bolts and conduit runs
    during shipment. Remove the straps and wood protector after
    placement of structure.

    Every explosionproof piece of equipment must be sealed off


    where conduit enters and exits the enclosure. Refer to Article
    500 Hazardous (Classified) Locations Section in the current NEC
    (National Electrical Code). Crouse-Hinds EYS, EYD, EZS and
    EZD type conduit sealing fittings are recommended.

    Each sealing fitting supplied with the switchrack will have a red
    warning tag attached to it. This tag instructs qualified personnel
    to prepare the fitting for use by installing Crouse-Hinds Chico A
    Sealing Compound in conjunction with Crouse-Hinds Chico X
    Fiber, or Crouse-Hinds Chico Speed Seal Compound. See
    Instruction Sheet supplied with sealing fitting for proper sealing
    methods.

    Only experienced, careful installers should be entrusted with


    preparing and pouring a sealing fitting. Improperly poured seals
    may pose a potential hazardous condition. Mixing vessel must
    be cleaned thoroughly before mixing new compound.

    Note: When using drain type seals the molded rubber drain core
    MUST be removed two hours after pouring sealing compound.
    Once removed, install Crouse-Hinds ECD drain fittings into the
    opening and tighten securely.

    Caution
    Refer to UL Table 35.1 to determine the maximum number
    and size of conductors allowed in a seal.

    DOCUMENTION
    A large envelope is supplied with each switchrack containing
    assembly drawings and wiring diagrams of the unit shipped.
    Additionally instruction sheets for each unit mounted on the
    structure are also included in the packet. Manufacturer's
    documentation of all electrical components supplied in each unit
    is also included in the package.

    All statements, technical information and recommendations contained herein are based on information and tests we believe to be
    reliable. The accuracy or completeness thereof are not guaranteed. In accordance with Cooper Crouse-Hinds "Terms and Conditions
