handle to the vertical position over the top of the
Meter as shown in Figure 1.
2. Remove the handle by pulling one side of the
handle outward, away from the Meter until free,
as shown in Figure 1. Then pull the other side of
the handle out, away from the Meter.
3. To remove the boots, pry and pull them from the
Meter.

(earth connection) from the Meter.
