Installation instructions for the type Vector 
manual group-operated air switch are 
detailed in the following steps:
1. Drill two mounting holes 11/16" in
diameter located per the user's 
construction standards and spaced per 
Siemens assembly drawing.
2. Install the mounting bolts in the holes.
Mounting bolts to be furnished by 
others.
3. Using the single-point lift bracket, lift
the air switch approximately 4' (1.2 m) 
off of the ground (Refer to Figure 3: 
Single-point lift bracket)
Note: Be careful when handling the air 
switch not to damage the interrupters or 
current-carrying parts.
4. Cut the hinge ties on each phase of the
air switch.
5. If surge arresters (supplied by others)
are required, some users prefer to 
mount and make-up the surge arresters 
at this step.
It is the user's responsibility to adjust 
arrester brackets, arresters, ground lead 
wires and hot lead wires to provide proper 
phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase 
clearance.

6. Extension links (supplied by others)
(refer to Figure 4: Extension link) are 
required on the jaw side of the air 
switch only, if dead ending on the air 
switch unit. Some users prefer to install 
the extension links at this step. 
7. Lift the air switch unit and mount it on
the pole, over the previously installed 
mounting bolts and tighten bolts. 
Keyhole slots for this purpose have 
been machined in the mounting 
channel. Remove blade ties from all 
three jaw assemblies so that the air 
switch can be operated.
