ABSTRACT:
A tool for placement of a wildlife protection guard on an insulated bushing on a transformer is provided. The tool includes a body, a hook, a connector, a first and second tension member and a tensioning mechanism. The body has a first end, a second end operable to receive the wildlife protection guard, an upper side and lower side. The hook is adjacent the first end of the body. The connector extends from the lower side of the body and is pivotably attachable to an end of an extendable pole. The first and second tension members define a portion of the second end of the body and further define a slot for receiving a portion of the wildlife protection guard. The tensioning mechanism communicates with the first and second tension members and is operable to adjust the tension on the wildlife protection guard receivable in the slot.
