Product Description

The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool permits a safe and quick method to bypass an overhead
cutout without the tedious use of bulky jumper cables. The tool is indispensable for fuse
coordination tasks and permits easy bypass of an underground dip. The Jack Jumper™ Cutout
Bypass Tool saves time and money, eliminates risk of service interruption and prevents accidental
cross phasing.

The primary purpose of the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is to provide temporary fuse
replacement when performing fuse coordination on cutouts. The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass
Tool is rated at 100 Amps continuous on AC current without exceeding a 40°C temperature rise. It
is used to bypass cutouts on both overhead lines and underground taps. For 200 Ampere SMD-20
systems attach two Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tools on opposite sides of the SMD-20 Power
Fuse (this only works for SMD-20 Power Fuse Tools and cannot be utilized for standard cutouts).

Installation and removal of the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is done with a shotgun stick.

WARNING

Never install or remove Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool
without a working fuse in place. It is not a switch and should
never be used as one.

! !

WARNING

Only install the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool with the use
of an insulated shotgun stick. When attaching or detaching the
Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool do not use abrupt or rough
movements, be gentle and do not hurry.

Installation

1. Grasp the top perpendicular ring of the Jack Jumper™
Cutout Bypass Tool with the shotgun stick.

2. Extend the shotgun stick as needed and per its instruction.

3. Attach the upper attachment hook to the upper fuse door
(Figure A).

4. Be sure the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is secure
and will not interfere with removal of the fuse.

5. Release the top ring.

6. Grasp the bottom in-line ring of the Jack Jumper™ Cutout
Bypass Tool with the shotgun stick.

7. Gently pull to expand the spring and hook the bottom
attachment hook on the lower fuse door hinge casting
(Figure B). The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is
now in place; release it from the shotgun stick.

For 200 Ampere SMD-20 systems attach two Jack
Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tools on opposite sides of the
SMD-20 Power Fuse (this only works for SMD-20 Power
Fuse Tools and cannot be utilized for standard cutouts).

8. Open the fuse door and replace as necessary.

Removal and Storage

After all repairs are complete and removed fuses or other
items of equipment are replaced and the fuse door is closed,
it is safe to remove the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool.

1. Grasp the bottom in-line ring of the Jack Jumper™ Cutout

Bypass Tool with the shotgun stick and release the lower
attachment hook (Figure C).

2. Release the bottom ring from the shotgun stick, and then

grasp the top perpendicular ring with the shotgun stick.

3. Gently lift the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool until the

top attachment hook is free (Figure A or B).

4. Return the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool to its

specially designed storage and transfer case.

The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool should be stretched
slightly and visually inspected prior to utilization to ensure
that the copper coil is not frayed or separated. If fraying or
separation of the copper coil has occurred do not utilize the
tool.
