REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1.Place the flat washers and the choke on top of the transformer and the lift bale assembly over both.
2.Install the four thread cutting bolts that mount the lift bale to the transformer and then replace the choke mounting hardware that was removed in Step 20 of the removal procedure. See Figure F.20.
NOTE: Cover the transformer assembly with ‘damp’ shop cloths before performing Step 3 to prevent weld spatter from damaging the transformer.
