Step 15.
Check tightness of termination
•
Check tightness by hand by moving T-body forward and
back (perpendicular to the apparatus frontplate). Do not
move side to side as this may loosen the connection.
•
If tight:
•
Re-torque to 55 ft-lbs.
•
If loose:
•
Remove insulating plug and T-body from apparatus
bushing.
•
Inspect threads of the stud and insulating plug for
damage.
•
If damaged, replace damaged component and re-install
per previous installation instructions.
•
If no damage is found, re-install per previous
installation instructions.
Step 16.
Cap the insulating plug
•
Clean and lubricate inner surface of insulating plug cap
with lubricant supplied.
•
