There should be minimal slack on CLEERCHAIN . Failure
to do so could result in serious injury or death .
Insert the provided locking pin into the eye of
● ●
CLEERBAIL 's eyebolt, and tighten. (Refer to Figure 7).
The bail and chain should be very tight on the elbow.
● ●
Verify that the cup is centered over the grounding
elbow operating eye and the eyebolt is co-axial with
the grounding elbow probe.
To check tightness of CLEERBAIL, the cup should
● ●
completely encapsulate the operating eye's pad, and
the legs of CLEERBAIL should be substantially straight
and rigid.

Step 7
Insert locking pin
Insert the locking pin into the cup of CLEERBAIL to
● ●
prevent unthreading of the eyebolt. The locking pin will
pass through the grounding elbow's operating eye, and
exit the cup on the opposite side of entry. (Refer to
Figure 8).
The locking pin must pass through the grounding
elbow's operating eye and must exit the opposite side
of entry . Failure to do so can result in the detaching of
the grounding elbow during through fault .
CLEERBAIL is rated for one (1) 25kA through fault
occurrence . CLEERBAIL must be replaced prior to a
second through fault occurrence .
