Installation Upper Attachment Point

38kV Models
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)
Figure B
• 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™).

! WARNING !
Do not attach the USJJ-005 Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool to the Arcing
Horns on an SMD-20 unit, this is different from a standard porcelain cutout.

4. Pull down to install the lower attachment hook on the fuse door hinge (Figure C). Upper Attachment Point
5. Be sure the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is secure and will not interfere with removal of the fuse door. SMD-20 Models
