Strip outer jacket to length per Table 2.
3.
Strip individual conductors to length per Table 1.
4.
If desired, label wires according to the location # on the
insert.
5.
Taking crimping tool per Table 4 and install correct
support/guide based on pin size being crimped.
6.
Adjust crimping tool knob to required setting based on
pin gage for 16 AWG to 10 AWG contacts.
7.
Place stripped end of conductor into contact socket,
verify that between 1 and 3 mm of bare copper is
exposed between end of contact and insulation.
8.
Place contact with wire into crimping tool and fully
squeeze tool until the contact is crimped and released.

Section 4: Installation Instructions for Single Pole Male Inline Plug
A. To disassemble male inline plug:
1.
Place cable adapter (1) in rubber or aluminum jawed
vice. Unscrew male skirt (2) (left hand thread) from
cable adapter (1), keeping environmental cover (3) on
male skirt (2).
2.
Remove cable adapter (1) from vice and place male skirt
(2) in vice, clamping onto environmental cover (3) with
warning label facing down.
3.
Unscrew coupling nut (4) from environmental cover (3).
4.
Remove male contact (7), brass washer (8) and retaining
clip (9) set to the side
C. To re-assemble male inline plug:
1.
Thread cable adapter (1) onto male skirt (left hand
threads). Wrench fully to shoulder following torque
value specified in Table 3.
2.
Screw basketweave (8) or mechanical clamp (9)
onto the end of the cable adapter (1). Screw it down
tight enough to squeeze the busing firmly against
the cable. While doing this, push in on the cable to
prevent strain on the wire terminals.
3.
Fully tighten wrench.
4.
If using mechanical clamp tighten cord grip screws to
torque found on Table 3.
