Step 7

Push the female connector onto the male bulkhead connector being careful to align
the pins. On the 3-contact connectors there is a single small pin used for alignment.

Step 8

Tighten the locking ring clockwise. Do not over tighten.

Once the tether is connected to the LBV, the next step is to connect the Integrated Control
Console/Surface Power Supply. Again, ensure that the Integrated Control Console/Surface
Power Supply is OFF.
