SECTION C
The two---, three--- and four---point deadbreak junctions have voltage and current ratings as indicated on the junctions and
are designed to interface with ELASTIMOLD deadbreak connectors for the purpose of sectionalizing, looping, tapping or for
apparatus change out. The deadbreak junctions are designed for mounting on any flat surface.
SECTION D
DANGER
All apparatus must be de--energized during installation
or removal of part(s). For loadbreak products follow
operating instructions. All deadbreak connectors must
be de--energized before operating. All 200A deadbreak
connectors must be mechanically secured with bails
when connected.
All apparatus must be installed and operated in
accordance with individual user, local, and national
work rules. These instructions do not attempt to
provide for every possible contingency.
Do not touch or move energized products.
Excess distortion of the assembled product may result
in its failure.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON PARTS, INSTALLATION RATINGS AND COMPATIBILITY, CALL THE NEAREST ELASTIMOLD OFFICE.
Inspect parts for damage, rating and compatibility with
mating parts.
This product should be installed only by competent
personnel trained in good safety practices involving
high voltage electrical equipment. These instructions
are not intended as a substitute for adequate training or
experience in such safety practices.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in
damage to the product and serious or fatal injury.
If this product is supplied with a protective shipping
cover(s), remove this shipping cover(s) and replace
with the appropriate HV insulated cap(s) or
connector(s) before submerging or energizing the
circuit.

Operating Instructions
1. Remove all protective caps and clean the operating interfaces. Lubricate each interface with an ELASTIMOLD
approved lubricants. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Other lubricants may be harmful to this product or its mating product(s).
2. If all operating interfaces are not utilized, insulated caps must be installed on the unused bushing(s) before energization.
3. Do not use the protective shipping caps for this function as they are not insulated and are only intended to keep the
operating interfaces clean during handling and installation.
