Special instructions to make this closure watertight:
1.) When tearing off the rings from this Plug, it is important, that they are removed
complete and without flashes left behind.
2.) Remove just as many rings as needed so that the Plug fits very tight around the cable.
3.) Lubricate all parts as required. Lubricate well. Rather lubricate too much than too less.
4.) Try to not lubricate the threat of the Folding Screw and the thread of the closure body.
5.) Always when fastening plastic, it might yield a bit over time. Therefor it is required that
1 hour (more time is even better) after the installation, the steps 27 and 30 are repeated.
Installation Instructions:
1.) Installation should be performed only by personnel experienced with FO cable closures.
2.) It is recommended to start by placing all parts within the top half-shell of the closure body.
