—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.
STEP 1
(See Tables I & II, above)

motor lead and line lead wire sizes. Be sure to select the Motor
Disconnects within the suitable size groups. Size groups may not
be inter-mated. Motor Disconnects within each group may be
mated. (MD1210F-2 mated with MD2M-2).
