3.
Carefully align the flat surface on the feedback or the power/brake cable
plug (shown in the diagram) with the flat surface on the motor connector.
4.
Hand tighten the collar on the plug to fully seat it on the connector.
• Threaded plug requires five to six revolutions.
• Quick-lock plug requires approximately one-quarter of a revolution.
Do not apply excessive force when mating the cable plug with the motor
connector. If the plug and connector do not go together with light hand
force, realign the flat surfaces and try again.
IMPORTANT
The motor orientation shown is used to clearly show the alignment marker on
each cable socket.
The recommended motor orientation when installed positions the connectors at
the bottom of the motor.
TIP
A threaded plug leaves a small opening, approximately 1…4 mm
(0.04…0.16 in.), between the connector and the plug when fully
seated.
ATTENTION
Keyed connectors and cable plugs must properly align and be hand-tightened the
recommended number of turns.
Improper alignment is indicated by the need for excessive force, such as the use
of tools, to fully seat a plug.
Failure to observe safety precautions could result in damage to the motor and
cable, and their components.
