Tools
 1/2” Wrench
 Torque Tool (Catalog Number TQHD635)
 5/16” T-Wrench (Catalog Number TWRENCH)
 O & T Tool (Catalog Number OT635)
 Combined O & T/Torque Tool (Catalog Number OTTQ635)
ote:N If a Combined O & T/Torque Tool is used, a separate

Prepare the cable
ote:N If concentric neutral cable is not being used, follow
cable preparation directions in shield adapter kit.
Step 1
Train cable

Position cable vertically so that it is centered between
apparatus bushing and parking pocket, parallel to, and 7”
(178 mm) from apparatus frontplate.

Provide adequate cable slack for cable movement
between standoff bushing and apparatus bushing.

Support cable as needed to maintain position.

Cut cable 1 3/4” (45 mm) from centerline of bushing.
(Refer to Fig ure 2.)

Step 2
Remove concentric neutral wires or jacket
ote:N Care should be taken to not cut or score the neutral
conductors when cutting the cable jacket.

Measure 13” (330 mm) from end of cable.
(Refer to Figure 3.)
 If jacketed neutral cable, remove jacket to
13” dimension.
 If unjacketed neutral cable, bind neutral wires using
(3) wraps of tape at 14 3/4” dimension.

Pull back concentric neutral wires. Allow enough
extra concentric neutral wires to connect to ground
after installation and allow movement to insulated
standoff bushing.

Put tape marker in place

Measure 1” (25 mm) from end of insulation shield.
(Refer to Figure 4.)

Wrap two turns of tape to serve as marker for cable
adapter location.
Step 5
Remove conductor insulation
ote:N Do not pencil cable.

Remove insulation exposing bare conductor to length of
4 3/8” (111 mm). (Refer to Figure 5.)
