Tools: Phillips head screw driver, ‘green’, 11/32” nut driver, 7/16” wrench, 7/16” socket, socket wrench,
tape measure, and a friend.
NOTE: To prevent galling of the stainless steel hardware, apply a light coating of Penetrox to all bolts
and screws. The term ‘SWAGE’ refers to a physical reduction made in one diameter of tubing in order to
fit into or over another.
1. SHORTING BARS
Included with this kit are five different shorting bars, pictured in Figure 1. First locate the 10m shorting bars and
shorting bar insulators (black or white). For each 10m shorting bar press a single shorting bar insulator into the
large hole. This can be done initially with a vise or with a hammer and a block of wood. After the insulator has
been partially set into the hole, take two element clamp plates and center the shorting bar on top of the two
plates. Now place the block of wood on top of the insulator and give a final strike. You should hear a snap. This
is the indication that the insulator has been
secured. Next install the 8-32 hardware listed to
the right of each part into each respective
shorting bar. Remember to apply a light coating
of Penetrox to the threads of each screw. Finger
tighten each locknut for now. Locate the small
container of Penetrox and for each shorting bar,
apply a light coating to the walls as indicated in
the figure.
2. CAPACITOR TUBE ASSEMBLY
There are three sizes of capacitor tubes. Tube
sizes 8”, 9” and 10” are for the 10m capacitor
while the 16” pieces are for 15m. NOTE: THESE
CAPACITOR TUBE SHOULD BE VERY CLEAN
INSIDE. PUSH KLEENEX OR EQUIVALENT
THROUGH AS REQUIRED TO REMOVE
CHIPS, OIL ETC. Locate the bag of capacitor
caps. As shown in Figure 2, starting with the 8”
tube, slide on the long 10M shorting bar about an
inch. Then lay a capacitor cap on a flat surface
and with your own weight/strength, press on a
cap. Turn the tube over, and install another cap.
Each capacitor cap will engage the 3/4” tube
3/8”(.375) so a measurement can be taken to
insure complete engagement of the caps to the tube, simply measure between the inside edge of the two
installed caps, it should be 5/8”(.625) to 3/4”(.750) shorter than the capacitor tube being measured. Repeat this
procedure for the 9” and 10” capacitor tubes For the 16” tubes follow the same procedure but slide on a different
shorting bar as shown in the figure.
