WIRE FEEDER END REPAIR (Requires 2 S19492-1
Terminals)

a. Remove the cable liner per Removal, Installation,

and Trimming Instruction.

b. Remove the feeder end connector, molded gas

plug (or barbed fitting), cable handle nut, plastic

tailpiece and connector cover (see Figure 5).

NOTE: In order to remove the cable handle nut, the
tail of the connector cover must be depressed and
the cable handle nut rotated 1/4 turn counterclock-
wise as viewed from the feeder end.

c. Remove incoming connector from cable by

unscrewing connector nut from incoming connec-
tor. If the cable inner tube is difficult to remove from
the connector assembly, carefully slit it lengthwise
with a knife up to the brass connector.

middle of the cable past the damaged section.

e. 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 S19492-1 terminal to each lead.

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.
