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.
