Initial Inspection
As a general rule, every bushing should be unpacked in
a dry place (shop). Once unpacked, the bushing should
be kept in a dry room and protected from atmospheric
influence.

Before unloading, complete a visual inspection of the

crate and note any apparent damage on the bill of
Fig. 5.4 Typical Shield & Terminal lading. After unloading, open the top of the crate, being
careful not to damage the porcelain and other bushing
parts, and thoroughly inspect each bushing. The
following areas should be closely examined:

CAUTION: When the bushing is placed in the crate
the oil level indicator must be facing down and
remain in this position whenever the bushing is in a
