If a non-Eaton Cooper Power series 600 A
T-body is being used, use the stripback lengths
given in the T-body kit, then proceed to Step 7 of
these instructions.
Step 1
Train cable
●
●
Position cable so that it is centered between
apparatus bushing and parking pocket, parallel to
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 inches (45 mm) from centerline of
bushing. (Refer to Figure 2.)
Step 2
Cutbacks for concentric neutral cable
●
●
If cable is not concentric neutral (metallic tape shielded,
longitudinally corrugated, wire shielded, or UniShield
®
) use
Eaton’s Cooper Power series SA series adapter kit with
the same cutback dimensions as concentric neutral below.
If another manufacturer’s metallic shield adapter is used,
follow the cutback instructions in the shield adapter kit.
●
●
Take care not to cut into the cable insulation.

●
●
Cut a 45° chamfer into the end of the cable insulation.
●
●
Clean the cable insulation wiping towards the
semi-con insulation shield.
●
●
Apply a thin coating of the supplied lubricant to the cable
insulation and to the cable entrance of the cable adapter.
●
●
Slide cable adapter onto the cable until the black portion
of the adapter touches the vinyl tape marker.

Step 4
Cable insulation cutback
●
●
There should be between 4 3/8” and 4 11/16” of exposed
cable beyond the cable adapter. Cut the cable insulation
even with the end of the cable adapter and remove the
protruding cable insulation. Take care not to cut the cable
adapter or nick the conductor.
