Overhaul
1.7Remove bolt (31.2), lock washer and large washer at stationary contact of the vacuum interrupter (24 mm socket with extension). Carefully note location of the conductive spacer between vacuum interrupter and pole support. This spacer has a concave surface that must be handled with care to avoid damage.
1.8Using a deep 24 mm socket with an extension, loosen and remove the
1.9Grasp the vacuum interrupter (30.0) and withdraw vertically upward. Assistance may be required to spread the clamp and work the terminal clamp off the movable stem of the vacuum interrupter. FORCIBLE TWISTING EFFORT IS NOT ALLOWED. If the terminal clamp cannot be easily removed, STOP!, check to be certain hardware is loose and the clamp is not binding.
2.0 Installing a vacuum interrupter
Note: Replacement vacuum interrupter (30.0) will be received from the factory with an eye bolt (36.3) in place, adjusted and torqued to specific requirements. DO NOT ALTER THE ADAPTER

2.6Couple levers (48.6) and drive link (48.9) to the eye bolt (36.3), using the pin supplied. Apply retention clips. Appropriate pin is modestly chamfered, not to be confused with pin for the insulated coupler.
2.7Raise terminal clamp (29.2) against the spacer (29.3) on the movable terminal of the vacuum interrupter (36.1) and position the vacuum interrupter (30.0) so that its groove faces the connecting surface of flexible strap (29.1). Refer to Figure 47: Illustration showing required technique for fastening terminal- clamp hardware on page 57 and employ the technique illustrated to fasten the terminal clamp. Note opposing wrenches. Tighten the bolt(s) of the terminal clamp to a torque of 40 Nm (30
Note: Excessive bending movement exerted while fastening the terminal clamp will damage the vacuum interrupter.
2.8Align pole support (20.0) correctly and tighten bolt fastening it to the post insulator. Fasten securely all bolts associated with struts (28.0).
