3.2.1 Prepare the cable as per standard practice. Cut the strength
member at ± 50 mm from the cable jacket. Feed the cable through the
gel seal (apply some tape at the end of the loose tubes to ensure easy
feeding through the gel seal).
3.2.2. Secure the metal bracket together with the 2 metal plates to the
frame. Make sure that it is positioned at the center of the port. Do not
tighten the screw completely. Secure the cable jacket with the hose
clamp at the T-shape. Secure the strength member between the 2 metal
plates and tighten the screw. Route the loose tubes as per standard
practice.
3.1.2 Open the port. The cutting wire can be used. Make sure that
the edges are free of burrs. Install the seal in the port, mark line always
facing forward. The mark line on the gel seal should match with the
mark line on the FIST-GCO2-FX drop port (The mark at the FIST-GCO2-
FX should be hidden when the seal is installed). Tighten the 2 screws
and make sure they grip in the port.
