Removing the Connector 

Each side has six (6) main tubes each with two (2), 0.5m long screw on extensions. 

1. 

Remove the four (4) mounting bolts on the flange. 

2. 

Pull the connector firmly out of the brass yoke. 

3. 

Plug the connector into the yoke and replace the mounting hardware (hex bolt 930732 and lock washer 
930037).
