WARNING
• System must be de-energized during installation or future operation of this product or its components.
• Do not touch or move energized connectors or components by hand.
• Excess distortion of the assembled connector may result in its failure.
• Failure to follow these instructions will result in damage to the connector and serious or fatal injury.
• This product should only be installed and/or operated by trained personnel in accordance with normal and safe work procedures.
• Variations in equipment or configuration or work procedures may not be covered in these instructions.
• Please contact Richards Manufacturing for any additional questions.
Guidelines for Installation in Cold Temperatures (<32 degrees F):
• The cold shrink product must be kept and stored in a clean, dry manner. These high voltage cable accessories have internal phase to ground insulating
interfaces which must be intact.
• Keep product within a warmer climate controlled environment as long as possible PRIOR to installation. This may be the cab of an operating vehicle if
no other facility resources are available.
• If product has been inadvertently exposed and stored in freezing (or below) temperatures for an extended or unknown period of time: Product must
warmed (41F or greater) and inspected prior to installation.
• If installing product in temperatures below freezing, and conducting post installation electrical testing – it may be necessary to warm the cable interface
of the accessory. This can increase the contact pressure between the cable accessory and the cable substrate. The heat should be applied primarily
around the cable semicon shield cutback area. This can be accomplished via a space heater or hot air gun. The cable accessory should be gently heated
so that the product becomes warm to the touch. Heat should not be concentrated but should be applied circumferentially around the product. If using a
hot air gun, care must be taken not to apply the heat in a concentrated manner that could damage the cable or accessory. Check that proper ventilation
is available if working in a confined space structure.
KIT CONTENTS
Standard kits may include the following. Custom kits may vary.
Check package contents to be sure they are complete, undamaged,and properly sized for the application.

mating part as shown.
C. For Shear Bolt Connectors: Install lug using separate instructions
provided with lug.
For Crimp Connectors: Select correct tool and die using crimp chart
supplied with lug. Crimp lug (min. number indicated in crimp chart)
starting just below knurl line adjacent to pad as shown. Carefully wipe
any excess inhibitor from lug and cable insulation.

A. After installing lug, confirm distance from lug end to insulation cutback
does not exceed dimension shown. 7 1/4” MAX
!WARNING: Do not exceed maximum dimension shown.
8Applying Stress Control Mastic
For Strap/Wire Shielded Cable
A. Clean insulation with approved cleaning wipes by wiping from lug to
shielding.
B. Apply supplied stress control mastic centered over edge of semi-
conductive shield cutback. Apply the mastic with light tension so it
slightly stretches and completely wraps the cable.
For Metallic Tape/LC Shielded
A. Clean insulation with approved cleaning wipes by wiping from lug to
shielding.
B. Remove PVC tape from Step 3.
C. Apply supplied stress control mastic centered over edge of semi-
conductive shield cutback. Apply the mastic with light tension so it
slightly stretches and completely wraps the cable.

9.3 Inserting Hex Tool
A. Insert Hex tool (P620AT or equivalent 5/
16
" hex tool) through loadbreak interface and engage fastener.
B. Slide fastener into forward position through lug hole (as shown in detail view).
!WARNING: Fastener is factory-installed in a retracted position. The Fastener must be stroked into forward position. The female threaded
end of Fastener will then extend into the 15/16" Threaded hole of the Lug.
!WARNING: Confirm that fastener goes through lug hole as shown below.

9.4 Mounting CS8
A. Hand-tighten stud into the appropriate mating part or bushing.
!WARNING: A standard threaded stud is included in the kit. If the use of an asymmetrical threaded stud is approved, it MUST be installed
with longer threaded side facing AWAY from equipment as shown below.

✘
B. Clean and lubricate (using supplied or approved silicone grease) deadbreak interface of CS8 and interface of mating part or bushing.
C. Place one hand on the power cable directly below CS8 and one hand on the body of the CS8. Lifting together, push CS8 onto mating part, lining up the
hole in the lug with the stud on the mating part.
D. Insert Hex tool (P620AT or equivalent 5/16" hex tool) into loadbreak interface and engage faster. Rotate tool 2-3 turns to start thread engagement.
!CHECK: Tug on power cable to confirm stud is through hole in lug. Only a small amount of movement should be possible. If the cable
moves more than a small amount repeat steps above.
E. Continue rotating hex tool. Torque fastener to 20ft-lb (P620AT Tool has built in 20ft-lb torque limiter.)
!CHECK: As a final check, tug on power cable. This should result in no movement at all.
