NOTE: Refer to pages 17-19 for 3M Connector and Lug crimping information.
NOTE: For Aluminum Conductors - Thoroughly wire brush conductor strands to remove aluminum oxide layer. Insert
conductor into lug or connector and then remove conductor. This will transfer some of the antioxidant compound onto
the conductor. Wire brush the anti-oxidant paste into the strands. Immediately insert conductor into lug or connector
barrel as far as it will go.
NOTE: Die/crimper head rotation between consecutive crimps is RECOMMENDED.
9.2 Position connector or lug and crimp according to manufacturer's directions. Remove excess oxide inhibitor and sharp
crimp flashings following crimping.
10.0 Clean Cable Insulation and Lug or Connector Barrel Using Standard Practice

™
Cable Cleaning Preparation Kit CC-2.
DO NOT ALLOW SOLVENT TO TOUCH SEMI-CON INSULATION SHIELD!
10.2 If abrasive must be used:
a. Use on insulation only. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE ON SEMI-CON INSULATION SHIELD!
b. Use only aluminum oxide abrasive; grit 120 or finer, included in the 3M Cable Cleaning Preparation Kit CC-2.
c. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.
11.0 Install Termination
11.1 Slide the termination body onto the cable and remove core. Make sure the termination body (not the core) is butted
up to the edge of the vinyl tape marker previously applied (Figure 15). Pull the core while unwinding, counter-
clockwise, starting with the loose end (Figure 15). Be sure to alternate the pulling and unwinding actions (pull-
unwind-pull-unwind-etc.) to help prevent the core material from binding up as the core is being removed.
NOTE: Once the termination body makes contact over the mastic seal area, there is no need to continue supporting the
assembly. DO NOT PUSH OR PULL ON THE TERMINATION ASSEMBLY WHILE UNWINDING THE CORE.
