and into the connector/ handle.
• Always clean the cable from the connector towards the middle of the cable.
• Hold the connector higher than the cable to avoid that cleaning fluids flows along the cable and into
the connector.
• Use the same technique when cleaning the cable from the handle side.

moistened with clean water.
