3.0 Assembly Procedure
3.1 Cut cable to the required length.
3.2 Loosen the left cable guide screw ④. Lift the guiding wing ②and slide the left cable guide ④
into the required position depending on the connector size to be used. Connector pole sizes are
indicated on the guiding wing ②. Lower the guiding wing ②and make sure that the serrations of
the base plate ⑤and cable guide ④are fully aligned. Tighten the cable guide locking screw.
3.3 Insert the appropriate cable ⑩under guiding wing ②and adjust the right cable guide ⑥. Make sure
that the base plate ⑤and cable guide ⑥serrations are aligned and that the right cable guide ⑥is as
close as possible to the cable ⑩.
