SwiftLine Rail Jumper Clamp - How to Install
See how to install Gripple's SwiftLine Rail Jumper Clamps to catenary and contact wires with our easy to follow instructions below.
Installation Instructions
Step 1:
Introduce the Jumper clamp up to the Catenary wire, squeezing the bottom of the clamp to open the top jaws.
Step 2:
Position the Jumper clamp over the Catenary wire and let go of the clamp, allowing the lower jaws of the clamp to activate.
Step 3:
Introduce the Jumper wire into the bottom of the Jumper clamp and pull the lever closed. Ensure lever is completely closed, it should touch the body of the clamp.
Step 4:
The Jumper clamp is now fully installed on the Catenary wire.
Step 5:
Introduce the second Jumper clamp, onto the Contact wire, squeezing the top of the Jumper clamp to open the jaws.
Step 6:
Position the Jumper clamp over the Contact wire's anvil and release the clamp to activate the upper jaws.
Step 7:
Introduce the Jumper wire into the top of the Jumper clamp and pull the lever closed. Ensure the lever is completely closed, it should touch the body of the clamp. Where possible ensure the lever is closed, in the most common direction of train travel.
Step 8:
The Jumper clamp is now fully installed on the Contact wire.
Step 9:
Introduce the strain relief up to the Jumper clamp and locate the holes using the tabs. Press the strain relief on to the clamp, ensuring it is also fully pressed on to the Jumper wire.
Repeat the same step on the Jumper clamp which interacts with the Contact wire.
