5.2.3
Strip the pigtail jacket at the marks. Cut the Kevlar to ± 10 cm.
5.2.4
Bend the Kevlar over the edge of the inner part. Don’t entangle
the fibers, avoid crossings.
5.2.5
Slide the outer part over the inner part. Keep both parts under
a certain angle as shown. Keep the Kevlar in position with your left
thumb.
5.2.6
Slide the metal clip over the pigtails and then over the GTU, up
to the front.
5.2.7
Take the GTU at the metal clip and pull at the Kevlar until it
locks completely.
5.2.8
Cut excess Kevlar. Identify the pigtails. Remove the secondary
coating 10-20 mm from the GTU (only possible in case of semi-tight
pigtail). This ensures you the transition primary-to-secundary is in a
straight line.
5.2.9
In case of pigtails with a limited amount of Kevlar (typical
outside diameter < 2.2 mm): wrap the Kevlar twice around the inner
part. Bring the Kevlar of 2 neighbouring pigtails together and pass the
Kevlar between both pigtails. Repeat for the 2 other pigtails. Always
install 4 pigtails.
