Installation
1. Do not install the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool on an open cutout.
2. Using an appropriately rated and approved insulated shotgun stick, attach and lock the in-line ring of the Jack
Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool so it extends straight out from the stick.
3. Attach the upper attachment hook:
• 38kV Model - attaches on an arcing horn between the fuse door and the insulator. This can be done on
either side of the cutout (Figure A)
• 15kV SMD-20 Power Fuse Model - attaches to the upper fuse door (Figure B). For 200 Ampere SMD-20
Power Fuses attach a Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool on each side (SMD-20 Power Fuse models
only! Other models CANNOT accomodate 2 Jack Jumpers™).
4. Pull down to install the lower attachment hook on the fuse door hinge (Figure C).
5. Be sure the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is secure and will not interfere with removal of the fuse door.
6. Release the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool from the shotgun stick. The fuse door may now be opened
temporarily as necessary.
Removal and Storage
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.
