Installation Instructions for 60 Amp CPH Slide-Lok® Plug
1. Disassemble plug as shown in FIGURE 2 by removing sleeve locking screw (2) and unscrew plug housing
(3) from plug sleeve (1). Loosen set screw (7) and
unscrew gland nut(6).
Remove ground screw (11) from plug sleeve (1) and
take out contact block.
It is not necessary to remove female contacts (13)
from contact block (9). Make sure grounding contact
with strap (12) is in proper location. See FIGURE 4.
2. Strip the cable jacket and individual conductors per
TABLE A.
3. Select proper grommet (4) and cable clamp (14)
orientation per TABLE B.
Reverable cable clamps (just remove screws and
fl ip over and replace screws) permit wide cables range.
Convenient in installations having different cable sizes.
4. Slide gland nut (6), steel ring (5), proper grommet (4)
and housing (3) in that order over cable.
5. Connect wires to proper terminals in contact block by
loosening (but not removing) terminal pressure screws
on contacts (10). Then inser t conductors including all
strands into contact terminals according to your established wiring scheme.
Tighten terminal pressure screws (10) to a minimum
WARNING
If any parts of the plug, receptacle or cable connector
appear to be missing, broken or show signs of damage
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
This condition could cause serious / fatal personal injury
due to electrocution and or equipment damage. Repair with
the proper replacement part(s) before continuing service.
WARNING
Electrical power must be turned "OFF" before and during
installation and maintenance. Failure to do so may result
in serious or fatal injuries due to electrocution.
of 30 in-lb. torque. (Conductors must bottom in contact
terminal well and installation must extend below surface
of contact block). See FIGURE 3.
6. Position contact block assembly (9) in sleeve (1),
attach ground strap (12) to sleeve (1) with ground strap
screw (11) and torque to 25 in-lb. min. / 30 in-lb. max.
Screw the combination of sleeve and contact block
assembly into housing(3) until the hole in the sleeve
(1) is aligned with the hole in the housing (3). thread in
sleeve locking screw(2).
7. Slide proper grommet (4) and steel ring (5) up and
as close to housing as possible. Force cable into wiring
chamber to induce a minimum of 1/8 in. slack in the wire
between the clamp and the terminals.
Screw gland nut (6) onto housing (3) and torque per
TABLE C. Finally, torque the set screw (7) in place to 10
in-lb. min. / 15 in-lb. max.
8. refer to TABLE B and FIGURE 5 for correct cable
clamp (14) orientation. Tighten cable clamp screws (8)
to a torque of 30 in-lb. min. / 35 in-lb. max. Screws were
lubricated at the factory but if needed, relubricate with
a good grade of grease.
WARNING
Do not modify these devices in amy way. Replace any
missing or broken parts with proper replacement parts
form Appleton Electric LLC. Modifi cation of these devices
or substitution of parts with non-standard parts may result
in serious / fatal personal injury from electrocution.
WARNING
Use cable with diameters within the specifi ed range
given in TABLE B for any given grommet size and
clamp orientation. failure to do so may result in overstressed conductor terminations which could cause
the conductors to pull out of the contacts and cause
serious / fatal injuries due to electrocution.

Electrical Testing:
Do not connect to power until conducting the
following electrical tests.
• Test continuity of wiring to verify correct
phasing and grounding connections.
• Measure insulation resistance to be sure
system does not have any short circuits or
unwanted grounds.
FIGURE 3
A wire scheme must be followed so that
WARNING
the same color wire is always put into the
same numbered contact opening in all
plugs, connectors and receptacles in the
system. This will insure the correct polarity for the system and helps to eliminate
possibilities for equipment damage and /
or personal injuries due to electrocution.
CAUTION
Plug and cord connections are rated for
use with Type SO or equivalent portable
cord with copper conductors ONLY.
CAUTION
Care must be taken not to cut into
the individual conductor insulation when
removing the outer cable cable jacket
and to not damage the conductors when
removing individual wire insulation.
Failure to do so will seriously degrade
the electrical properties of the cable and
may produce overheating / electrical
hazard due to electrocution.

WARNING
Use cable with diameters within the specialized range given in TABLE "B" for any given grommet size and clamp orientation.
Failure to do so may result in over stressed wire terminations which could cause the conductors to pull out of the contacts
and cause serious / fatal injuries due to electrocution.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance:
Electrical and mechanical inspection of all components must be performed regularly. It is recommended that inspection be performed a minimum of
once a year.
WARNING
If any parts of the plug, receptacle or cable connector
appear to be missing, broken or show signs of damage
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
This condition could cause serious / fatal personal injury
due to electrocution and or equipment damage. Repair with
the proper replacement part(s) before continuing service.
1. Inspect all contact wire terminals for tightness.
(Retorque). Discoloration due to excessive heat is an
indicator of possible problems and should be thoroughly investigated and repaired as necessary.
2. Check grounding and bonding for correct installation and secure connection. (Retorque).
3. Check gaskets for deterioration and replace if
necessary.
4. Clean exterior surfaces making sure nameplates
remain legible.
5. Inspect gland nut and cable grip tightness to
ensure proper cord / cable gripping.
6. Torque all screws as described in instructions
before reusing device.
7. Inspect housing parts and replace those which are
broken or excessively worn.
8. Check contacts for signs of excessive arcing or
burning and replace if necessary.
In addition to these required maintenance procedures, we recommend an Electrical Preventative
Maintenance program as described in the National
Fire Protection Association Bulletin NFPA No. 70B.
