CAUTION
CHECK MOTOR ROTATION BY BUMPING MOTOR.
CORRECT ROTATION IF NECESSARY.
— INSTALLATION HINTS —
A. Always install the female lug on line leads and the male lug on the
motor leads for 600V and less, female on both line leads and motor
leads for the 5KV connection.
B. Always use the smallest body size for the lug possible for the
largest wire in the junction box. Line leads are usually the largest.
C. Store the boots and bolts from the junction box in the re-closeable
plastic bag provided. Use a Ty-Rap
®
cable tie or tape the bag to the
conduit.

D. IMPORTANT: After fully inserting the male pin into the female barrel
on the 600V connectors or inserting the double male pin between the
two female connectors on the 5KV connections, make sure you install
the boot that matches the size and voltage for your application.
E. IMPORTANT: properly seat connectors by fully inserting motor
connectors to the bottom of the boot. On the 600V connectors, install
the rst tie just under the connectors seated in the boot. The second tie
should be installed between the rst tie and bottom of the boot.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Select connectors as needed for
motor and line wire sizes. Be sure
to specify connectors within the
suitable size groups. Size groups
may not be inter-mated.
Connectors within each group
may be mated. (MD1210F-2
mated with MD2M-2).
STEP 2
D
ress the wires to pigtail with the
motor leads.
STEP 3
C
rimp connectors with any T&B
installing tool as follows:
WT2000, WT1300, WT130A
Installs #16 through #10
*TBM20S installs #8 to #2
