e. Uncouple the strain relief by pushing its outer housing toward the middle of the cable. Move the strain relief and the cable boot toward the middle of the cable, past the damaged section.
f.Cut off the damaged section of cable and strip off the outer jacket as shown in Figure 2. Be careful not to cut the insulation on the control wires while stripping jacket. Strip the red and white control leads 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) from the end and crimp a new
NOTE: The cable contains three control leads. Any two control leads can be used, provided the two colors used are the same at both ends. The extra lead is a spare that can be used if one of the other leads breaks.
g.Check that the cable boot and both halves of the strain relief are on the cable. Slip the connector nut
over the copper strands with the thread end out. Orient gun tube connector so machined flat is on the same side of the cable as the red and white control leads. Assemble gun tube connector to cable by forcing the steel tube of the connector into the inside diameter of the cable inner tube until the copper strands are butted against the gun tube connector shoulder. Keeping the copper strands against the shoulder, pull the connector nut over the copper strands, engage the gun tube connec- tor threads, and tighten in place. Refer to Figure 3.
NOTE: For best results, insert a .219”/.240” (5.6/
6.1mm) diameter rod through the connector and into core of cable approximately 5.00 (127 mm) when pushing the connector tube into the cable core tube. To tighten, hold the connector in place while turning the nut, then remove the rod from the core. This procedure ensures the inner core does not kink while assembling or tightening.
