Mating the Twist-Lock connectors is easy after you do it
once to get a feel for the process.
Note that each connector has a flat side.
Note the pins on the body connector (one on each side)
and the slots on the cable connector (one on each side).
To mate the connectors:
1Slide back the sleeve on the cable connector.
2Orient the “flats” so they will mate up, and insert the body
connector firmly into the cable connector.
3Slide the sleeve on the cable connector toward the body until the
pin on the body pops into the round hole in the slot on the cable
connector.
4Grasp the cable connector in one hand and the MP TROLL 9500
in the other. Push and twist firmly so that the pin slides along the
slot and snaps securely into the hole at the other end.
