Step 7.
Clean insulation
ote:N Do not apply solvent directly to cable.
•
Clean insulation thoroughly with solvent dampened rag,
wiping from conductor end toward insulation shield.
(Refer to Figure 19.)
•
Ensure that all traces of conductive residue are re moved.
Step 8.
Lubricate and install cable adapter
•
Lubricate exposed cable insulation.
•
Lubricate inside of cable adapter.

and rotate connector to distribute inhibitor.
ote:N Connector must be fully seated on cable conductor.
•
Align flats of connector and apparatus bushing for
minimum conductor strain.
•
Make first crimp 1/2" (13 mm) below shoulder of
compression connector. (Refer to Figure 22).
•
Rotate each successive crimp 90° on compression
connector and allow 1/8" (3 mm) between crimps.
•
