Figure 11 – 5 Securing Terminal Strip into Connector Housing

6. To complete the connector assembly, tighten the nuts on the cable end snugly

(

Figure 11 – 6

Figure 11 – 6 Plastic Nuts with Grommets

As the nut is tightened, the connector compresses the grommet around the check tag
cable.

To assemble the kit for one check tag

1. Follow the procedure steps described above in steps 1 through 6, but connect only one

check tag cable.

Caution

If connecting only one check tag, you must insert and secure the nylon closing

cap into the unused terminal connector to protect the terminal strip from possible
contamination.

2. To cover the unused terminal connector, insert the nylon closing cap into the plastic cap

with rubber grommet and tighten snugly (
