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.
•
Slide small end of cable adapter over cable using twisting
motion until small end is flush with tape marker. (Refer to
Figure 20.)
•
After sliding the cable adapter into position make sure
that no bulge is present. (Refer to Figure 21.)
Step 9.
Install compression connector
ote:N Refer to the separate installation instructions
supplied with the shear bolt connector.
•
Wire brush conductor (aluminum only).
•
Remove protective cap from compression connector.
•
Insert conductor completely into compression connector
and rotate connector to distribute inhibitor.
ote:N Connector must be fully seated on cable conductor.
•
Align flats of compression connector and apparatus
bushing for minimum conductor strain.
•
Make first crimp .5" (13 mm) below shoulder of
compression connector. (Refer to Figure 22.)
•
Rotate each successive crimp 90º on com pres sion
connector and allow 1/8" (3 mm) between crimps.
•
Wipe excess inhibitor from connector and adapter
surfaces.
