Product Description
The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool permits a safe and quick method to
bypass an overhead cutout without the tedious use of bulky jumper cables. The
tool is indispensable for fuse coordination tasks and permits easy bypass of an
underground dip. The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool saves time and money,
eliminates risk of service interruption and prevents accidental cross phasing.
The primary purpose of the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is to temporarily
bypass a cutout fuse door during fuse coordination. The Jack Jumper™ Cutout
Bypass Tool is rated at 100 Amps continuous AC current without exceeding a
40°C temperature rise. It is used to bypass cutouts on both overhead lines and
underground taps.
For 200 Ampere SMD-20 Power Fuses attach a Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass
Tool on each side (this only works for SMD-20 Power Fuse Tools and cannot be
utilized for standard cutouts).
Installation and removal of the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is done with a
shotgun stick.
! !
WARNING
Only install the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool with the use
of an insulated shotgun stick. When attaching or detaching the
Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool do not use abrupt or rough
movements, be gentle and do not hurry.

Follow all basic and necessary procedures to secure the electrical site before
beginning work. Follow all existing codes, requirements and instructions for all
equipment used in conjunction with the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool. Inspect
the cutout carefully for damage or corrosion. Use standard electrical procedures to
clean the connection points prior to utilizing the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool.
Inspect the porcelain for any damage or cracks. If either condition is found, do not
use the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool.

Installation
1. Do not install the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool on an open cutout.
2. Using an appropriately rated and approved insulated shotgun stick, attach and lock the in-line ring of the Jack
Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool so it extends straight out from the stick.
3. Attach the upper attachment hook:
• 38kV Model - attaches on an arcing horn between the fuse door and the insulator. This can be done on
either side of the cutout (Figure A)
• 15kV SMD-20 Power Fuse Model - attaches to the upper fuse door (Figure B). For 200 Ampere SMD-20
Power Fuses attach a Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool on each side (SMD-20 Power Fuse models
only! Other models CANNOT accomodate 2 Jack Jumpers™).
4. Pull down to install the lower attachment hook on the fuse door hinge (Figure C).
5. Be sure the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is secure and will not interfere with removal of the fuse door.
6. Release the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool from the shotgun stick. The fuse door may now be opened
temporarily as necessary.
Removal and Storage
The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool should be stretched slightly and visually inspected prior to utilization to
ensure that the copper coil is not frayed or separated. If fraying or separation of the copper coil has occurred do
not utilize the tool.
