A connection mechanism for connecting and disconnecting a cable connector to a bushing mounted on an electrical apparatus comprising a saddle shroud adapted to be connected to the cable connector and having an upwardly extending extension, a plate connected to the electrical apparatus above the bushing for supporting the saddle shroud and for permitting movement of the saddle shroud relative to the bushing, the plate having a slot which receives and supports the saddle shroud extension. The connection mechanism also includes a lever mechanism for driving the connector onto and away from the bushing comprising an elongated lever including an end adapted to receive the shroud extension supported in the slot, the lever being pivotally connected spaced from the end to the supporting plate, and an arm for pivoting the lever comprising an arm connected to the elongated lever, the arm having a shotgun stick receiving end and an opening spaced from the receiving end so that, when the shroud extension is received in the lever end, the lever can be pivoted so that the cable connector is forced onto the bushing when the lever is pivoted in one direction, and the cable connector is forced away from the bushing when the lever is pivoted in the opposite direction.
