1 Before installing the gel seal in the port, install the 2 securing screws.
2 Before installing the gel seal in the port, install all blind plugs.
3 The first cable must be installed in the port position number 1. The next cable must follow the numbering.
Note: The lubrication oil in the kit makes it easier to install gel seal in the closure ports.

4 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
drop port. (The mark at the FIST-GCO2- FX/EDSA2 should be hidden when the seal is installed).
5 Tighten the 2 screws and make sure they grip in the port.
6 Make sure the seal is decompressed before installing a cable.

1 Remove the blind plug.
2 Feed the cable through the port. Cutting the cable edge under 45° will help to feed the cables through the RSKG
seal. Prepare as per standard practice.
Note: The lubrication oil in the kit makes it easier to guide cables through ports in the gel seal.
3 Leave around 15 cm of aramid yarn.
Note: In order to have a good cable management, make sure all cables have the same length!
