6. Position the plunger of the connector assembly
in the cavity of the front die with the knurl against
the edge of the groove in the die and the
termination cover pointing in the direction of the
arrow. See Figure 5, Detail A.
7. Slowly squeeze the tool handles together until
the ratchet releases. Allow the handles to open
fully, and remove the connector assembly from the
die.
8. Open the cable clamp of the cable holder
assembly, and remove the fiber from the clamp.
Slide the short boot over the plunger until it butts
against the connector assembly. See Figure 5,
Detail B.
9. Remove the connector assembly from the cable
holder assembly.
10. For the duplex connector kit, refer to Figure 5,
Detail C, and install the duplex clip as follows:
a. Center the channel “A” connector between
the duplex clip opening marked “A” with the
recess in the connector aligned with the rib of
the duplex clip. Make sure that the termination
cover (of the connector) is pointing in the
direction of the arrow on the duplex clip.
b. Using a biasing force, push the connector
into the opening until there is an audible “click.”
DO NOT force the connector onto the duplex
clip.
c. Center the channel “B” connector between
the duplex clip opening marked “B” with the
recess in the connector aligned with the rib of
the duplex clip. Make sure that the termination
cover (of the connector) is pointing in the
direction of the arrow on the duplex clip.
d. Repeat Step b.
If connecting connectors, remove the termination
cover, and inspect the ferrule end face for
cleanliness using microscope kit and 1.25 mm
universal adapter.

Following this procedure should prevent damage to
the duplex clip and allow reuse of the duplex clip.
1. Using one hand, hold the assembly by either the
connector that will not be removed or the duplex
clip.
2. With the other hand, grasp the connector to be
removed and, using a rotation motion,
gently
remove the connector from the opening. Refer to
Figure 6.
