Ensure that the swing-out low voltage panel is in its original position before
attempting to close the MV door. When closing the medium voltage door,
ensure all door locking bolts on the right side of the MV door are in place and
tightened until the door is flush with the flange
bolts. If the door is not securely fastened, it will not be possible to move the
isolation switch handle to the ON position.

activity without overturning or lateral movement, provided they are securely
mounted according to UBC, IBC and local building codes. This can include
concrete pad design, steel floor design and the sizing of cabinet anchors.
Concrete floor cutouts must not be adjacent to floor anchor bolts and must be
sized to seismic load. Consult factory if floor mounting must be reviewed by an
accredited engineer. Many jurisdictions require an engineer from the local area
to review the design. Seismic qualification does not indicate that the
equipment will function properly after a seismic event.

NOTES FOR SEISMIC APPLICATIONS
• For installations on concrete – the minimum depth and radius of
concrete supporting the cabinet anchors is dependent on seismic loads.
Refer to important information above.
• For installations on a metal structure – the metal plate depth and cabinet
anchoring method is dependent on seismic loads.
Joining hardware can be found in a package mounted on the front of the
shipping skid. Refer to publication MV-QS050_-EN-P for level floor surface
requirements.
1. Position the left side of the section on a level surface and secure the section
in place with 12 mm (1/2 in. [M12]) floor mounting bolts (refer
to Anchoring
2. When joining NEMA Type 12, apply a continuous 3 mm (1/8 in.) wide
bead of silicon sealer around the perimeter of one section.
3. Remove the side bus access covers if applicable.
4. Position the right section against the left section. Ensure that the surface is
