To Fit a Collar that has a Nylon Nut and Bolt
1.
Undo the nut
The nylon nut can be loosened with finger and thumb
2.
Place the collar around the animal’s neck
Ensure the collar is oriented correctly. For more information, see the
diagram (previous page). If you need to punch a new set of holes in the
strap, ensure they are not too close to existing holes or edges.
3.
Place the nut back on the bolt and tighten
Hand tighten with finger and thumb
4.
Crimp the excess thread
Use pliers to crimp / deform the thread. Deform the thread sufficiently
to prevent the nut from loosening. Alternatively, a drop of Loctite 401
(supplied) will hold the nut in place
5.
(If relevant) Cut off any excess strap
If the strap is too long for the animal, it may become a hindrance. As a
guide, the length of strap in the photo (right) is sufficient.
Do not cut the antenna. Cutting the antenna will reduce its
performance.
The animal is ready to release.
