DANGER
component identification as well as installation.
The foundation should be prepared in accordance
WARNING
with the instructions in the previous sub-sections,
and all embedded conduits installed and capped.
CAUTION

If a transformer is not part of the installation,
and/or the equipment has been split for shipment,
place the center section on the foundation first.
Assemble the remaining sections outward from
the center section, in each direction. If the
switchgear equipment is part of a load center unit
DANGER
substation, the transformer section should
be set on its pad first in accordance with the
WARNING
instructions furnished with the transformer. All
remaining sections of the switchgear should then
