Connecting the cables
Loosen the grooved nut (position 1) and
confirm the screw thread is visible. The
center pin is now retracted from the
standard position.
Use 8710-2812 wrench to tighten the Hex
nut (position 2) to the female connector of
the module.
Use 8710-2812 wrench again to tighten
the grooved nut (position 1). Do not use
the wrench on the threaded nut (with red

the screw thread is visible (position 1). The
center pin is now retracted from the
standard position.
