RACKING AND SECURING CABLE
Have at least 6" (152 mm) of straight and non-stressed cables entering the End Plates.

4.
Measure the cable to determine the proper blade sizes and number of LOCK-TAPE Sealantlayers. If the index line falls on a line use the measurement immediately to the right of the line.
Use D blade andone half-lap ofLOCK-TAPETM
Sealant.
Use D blade andone half-lap ofLOCK-TAPETM
Sealant.
Use M blade andtwo half-laps ofLOCK-TAPETM
Sealant.
Use O blade andtwo half-laps ofLOCK-TAPETM
Sealant.
The shaded area = two half laps. The clear area = one half lap.
Wrap the CABLE Mea-SURETM Tape around thecable to determine the proper blade size andnumber of layers of LOCK-TAPE Sealant.
Note: For lead sheath cable, apply two half-lappedlayers of LOCK-TAPE Sealant first, thenmeasure with Cable Mea-SURE Tape todetermine proper blade size and additionalnumber of layers of LOCK-TAPE Sealant.
Use the PLP® CUE CARD as a worksheet toassure correct cutter blade size, proper holecutting locations, and correct amount ofLOCK-TAPE Sealant.

Mount a 3/8" electricdrill to the upper endof the cutter shaft.(PLP Catalog# 80851659).Cut through theblack plastic untilfoam is just visible inring.
Use a screwdriver to popout the plastic disc (notnecessary for A, B, C,and D blades).Continuedrilling untilstop collar onshaft bottoms onbearing block.
REMOVE BURRS LIGHTLY ONEDGES AND CORNERS ONLY
Scuff lightly using the emery clothprovided with the kit. Be careful not toremove too much material.
Apply Torque Bars to End Plates with threaded bolt holes. The offset in the bars should face thesplice bundles as shown in above drawing.
TORQUE BAR PLACEMENT
Use the Torque bar assembly to mark area tobe cleaned and scuffed. Mark a 6" (152 mm)cable opening and coat scuffed area withC-Cement and allow it to dry to a tacky base.

APPLY C-CEMENT TO END PLATE SURFACES
17.
Half-lap LOCK-TAPETM Sealant around cable.Stretch while applying to reduce its widthto 1-1/8".
Apply LOCK-TAPETM Sealant to End Platehalves without stretching. Leave 3/4" (19 mm) ofsealant extending beyond End Plate on bothsides. Square cut the tape way from bolt holes.
