D. Installation of VCP-W circuit breaker into its compartment
using Breaker Lifting Device, Lift Pan and Short Rails.
1. Follow steps outlined in A-1 to lift the breaker from its shipping
pallet using breaker lifter and breaker lifting yoke. At this time,
the circuit breaker is hanging on the lifter hook ( Figure 9).
2. Position the lifter behind the Lift Pan such that circuit breaker is
positioned above the Lift Pan.
3. Carefully lower the breaker on to the Lift Pan making sure all four
breaker wheels are seated on the Lift Pan rails. Once the breaker
is fully lowered on to the Lift Pan and seated, disengage the lifter
hook from the lift yoke, and remove the lifting yoke from the
breaker. Now pull the breaker towards the front until the breaker
front panel is rested against the two rubber stops ( Figure 12) on
the Lift Pan. As the breaker is being pulled towards the rubber
stops, interlock bars on the Lift Pan will engage breaker wheels
shaft (Figure 13) to keep the breaker from sliding off the Lift Pan.
4. Engage the Lift Pan hooks (Figure 23) to the lifter horizontal lift-
ing bar (Figure 24) by lowering the lift, pushing the lifter slightly
forward, and then raising the lift. When properly engaged, Lift
Pan can be raised/lowered to raise/lower the breaker ( Figure 14).
5. Engage short rails (Figures 3A, 21 and 22) into the breaker
compartment.
6. Move the breaker lifter with Lift Pan and Breaker, and carefully
position in front of the circuit breaker compartment ( Figure 14).
7. Raise/lower the lift to desired mark ( Figure 25A) on the lifter
post (lower mark when installing breaker in the lower compart-
ment, upper mark when installing the breaker in the upper com-
partment) to align two holes on the Lift Pan to rail pins. Two site
holes (Figure 23) are provided on the Lift Pan for visual verifica-
tion of final alignment of the Lift Pan with the short rails, when
installing breaker in the upper compartment. Once aligned, push
the lifter and Lift Pan to fully engage the rail pins. When fully
engaged, a spring-loaded bracket on each rail will lock the rails to
the Lift Pan. Verify that the Lift Pan rails are now aligned with the
compartment rails (Figures 15 and 16).
8. Now lock the lift truck wheels by pressing wheel lock paddle
by foot (Figure 17).
9. Push breaker wheel release handle ( Figure 18) upward to
release breaker wheels from the lift pan, and at the same time
push the breaker manually into the compartment. Breaker wheel
release handle can be let go once the breaker has been moved
towards the compartment by about 1/2 inch or so. Keep pushing
the breaker (Figure 19) until it reaches its disconnected position
and latches with the compartment interlock, confirmed by a
clicking sound.
10. Unlock the lifter wheels by pressing release bar on either side of
the wheel lock paddle (Figure 17).
11. Release breaker Lift Pan and rails interlock by pushing Lift Pan
release handle (Figure 20) towards the compartment, and at the
same time, pull the lifter away from the compartment.
12. Remove short rails from the breaker compartment and store
them on the lifter (Figure 3B) for future use.

E. Removal of VCP-W circuit breaker from its compartment
using Breaker Lifting Device, Lift Pan and Short Rails.
1. Open the circuit breaker.
2. Using levering crank, withdraw the breaker to its
disconnected position.
3. Engage short rails to circuit breaker compartment
(Figures 21 and 22).
4. Position the lifter behind the Lift Pan and engage the Lift Pan
hooks (Figure 23) to the lifter horizontal lifting bar by lowering
the lift, pushing the lifter slightly forward, and then raising the lift.
When properly engaged, Lift Pan can be raised/lowered
(Figure 24).
5. Position the breaker lifter with Lift Pan in front of the circuit
breaker compartment.
6. Raise/lower the lift to desired mark ( Figure 25A) on the lifter
post (lower mark when removing breaker from the lower com-
partment, upper mark when removing the breaker from the
upper compartment) to align two holes on the Lift Pan to rail
pins. Once aligned, push the lifter and Lift Pan to fully engage the
rail pins. When fully engaged, a spring-loaded bracket on each rail
will lock the rails to the Lift Pan. Verify that the Lift Pan is
securely aligned and engaged with the short rails ( Figures 25B,
25C and 25D).
7. Now lock the lift truck wheels by pressing wheel lock paddle
(Figure 17) by foot.
8. Disengage Lift Pan Wheel locking pins from both wheels ( Figure
29B), and then unwind strap (Figure 26A and 26B) from Lift Pan
winch assembly by simply pulling it. Leave enough slack. Make
sure strap is positioned above the spring rod and not below it
(Figure 26B) before proceeding to the next step.
9. Lift breaker pull-handle upward (Figure 27A) and slide the strap
metal piece horizontally underneath the handle ( Figure 27A and
27B), then rotate it 90 degrees downward, and push it straight
down. When properly inserted, this metal piece will lock in with
the breaker cross piece just below the handle and will maintain
breaker pull-handle in the raised position, thus releasing breaker
and cell interlock to allow breaker to be withdrawn from its dis-
connected position. Now pull the strap ( Figure 28) just to be sure
that the metal piece is engaged correctly as shown before pro-
ceeding to the next step.
10. Now rotate Lift Pan wheel (Figure 29A) clockwise. There are
two wheels, one on the left and one on the right. Either wheel
can be used. As the wheel is rotated clockwise ( Figure 30), it
will wind the strap and pull the breaker from its compartment.
Continue to pull the breaker onto the Lift Pan until the breaker
front panel is rested against the two rubber stops ( Figure 12) on
the Lift Pan. As the breaker is being pulled towards the rubber
stops, interlock bars on the Lift Pan will engage breaker wheels
shaft (Figure 13) to keep the breaker from sliding off the Lift Pan.
At this time, also engage the Lift Pan wheel locking pins to lock the
Lift Pan wheels (Figure 29B), to keep the strap from unwinding.
Figure 31 shows breaker fully withdrawn onto the Lift Pan.
11. Unlock the lifter wheels by pressing release bar on either side of
the wheel lock paddle (Figure 17).
12. Release Lift Pan and rails interlock by pushing Lift Pan release
handle (Figure 32) towards the compartment, and at the same
time pull the lifter away from the compartment.
13. Remove short rails from the breaker compartment.
F. To transfer VCP-W circuit breaker from one compartment
to another using Breaker Lifting Device, Lift Pan and
Short Rails.
1. To remove circuit breaker from a given compartment, follow
steps outlined under (E) above.
2. To install the breaker into another compartment, follow Steps 5
through 8 outlined under (D). Then disengage Lift Pan wheel
locking pins and follow Steps 9 through 12.
