Important Packaging Notice
In order to make sure that you receive an undamaged termination, this 3M™ Cold Shrink QT-III Termination is packed
with a RED SHIPPING CORE inside of the white core. Please remove the red shipping core BEFORE you install the ter-
mination. This shipping core can be recycled with other polypropylene waste.
16.1 Slide the termination body onto the cable and remove core. Pull while unwinding, counter-clockwise, starting
with the loose end (

). Make sure the termination body (not the core) is butted up to the edge of the
vinyl tape marker previously applied (
Figure 24
).
NOTE: Once the termination body makes contact over the mastic seal area, there is no need to continue
supporting the assembly. DO NOT PUSH OR PULL ON THE TERMINATION ASSEMBLY WHILE
UNWINDING THE CORE.
