2. Check all components to ensure proper fit with cable and/or mating products.
ASSEMBLE BAIL
1. Place hold--down bail as shown.
2. Pull hold--down bail up over the or top of the insulating
cap so that the eyebolt on the bail is directly over the locator dimple.
3. Tighten down on insulating cap locator by turning
eyebolt in a clockwise direction. Adjust the nut on the eyebolt until it allows the eyebolt to seat securely in the locator. The nut should act as a stop to prevent the eyebolt from applying excessive force on the insulating cap. Once the nut is in final position, it will not have to be readjusted when removing and replacing the insulating cap.
3. Read entire installation instructions before starting.
4. Have all required tools at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
