12. Carefully lower the ram and upper tooling

assembly to double check that the cutting blades

clear the locators.

13. Secure the arbor frame assembly to the work

surface according to instructions supplied with the

frame assembly, or if using the bend stand (supplied

with lacing fixture), secure the bench stand to the

work surface. Remove the lacing fixture

subassembly from the slide, and place it into the

bench stand. Secure the subassembly by tightening

the thumbscrew. Refer to Figure 6.

4. SEATING PROCEDURE

After tooling is properly installed and secured to the

work surface, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen the adjustable locators in each slot of the

lacing fixture subassembly base, then move the

locators so that the covers will fit into the lacing

fixture subassembly slots.

Due to the keying feature on the stationary

locators, the covers will only fit with the stepped

edge of the cover toward the inside of the lacing

fixture subassembly.

2. Place the termination covers in their respective

slots.

3. Slide the adjustable locators toward the back of

the assembly until the locators touch the covers and

the ball plunger in each adjustable locator

sufficiently secures the covers.

4. Prepare the cable for use as described in the

instructions supplied with the connector or

termination cover.

5. Open the cable clamp by opening the latch. Refer

to Figure 7.
