IFE HAZARD
!
When performing work on the cable box, the
relevant cable(s) must always be earthed.
1. Check the cable grease level using a lamp, if
necessary.

Once the grease level has dropped to a point below
the cable core clamps, because grease has been
absorbed by the cable, the cable box must be
topped up.

In this case, the hose of the filling device - prior to
being inserted into the cable box
– must be entirely
filled with grease so as to prevent the ingress of air.

For filling the cable box, see also chapter 3.3.8.
2. Undo the hose clip and slide the cable box so far down
that the nylon vent threads can be fitted (see figure 1):

If it is difficult to slide down because the grease has
become too viscous, you may heat the cable box a
little, using a hair drier for instance.

ANGER WARNING
Never heat the cable box with a naked flame.
