5. Loop back unused station wire conductors and
coil around the station wire jacket or store in 
such a manner as to prevent them from 
coming in contact with protector terminals or 
bare wires. 
6. When more than one cable is placed under a
nut, use washers between the wires.
7. Use caution when terminating small gauge
Customer Side cable on the protector module 
terminals, as the wires may catch in the 
threads of the terminal and be cut or broken 
when nuts are tightened. 
8. Check all nuts to make sure they are tight.
Precaution
1. When clearing trouble on a line that contains
gas tube protector modules, and when the test 
board has indicated that there may still be a 
power contact, inspect the non-cable portion 
of the line from the ground for any power 
contacts or evidence of damage from power 
contacts. 
2. Special care should be taken in making the
inspections where the line runs through trees 
or where visibility is limited. 
3. If a power contact is found, notify the proper
authority so it may be corrected.
4. Do not work on the line until the power contact
has been cleared.
5. If no contact is found but the test board still
have indications of a power contact, wear 
insulating gloves while working with the test 
board to clear the line.
