e. Cut off the damaged section of cable and strip off
the outer jacket as shown in Figure 3. Be careful
not to cut the insulation on the control wires while
stripping jacket. Strip the red and white control
leads .25" (6.4mm) from the end and crimp a new
S19492-2 terminal to each lead.
NOTE: The cable contains four control leads. Any
two control leads can be used, provided the two
colors used are the same at both ends. The
extra leads are spares that can be used if one of
the other leads breaks.

g. Slip the connector nut over the copper strands
with the thread end out. Adjust gun tube connec-
tor so machined flat is on the same side of the
cable as the red and white control leads.
Assemble gun tube connector to cable by forcing
the steel tube of the connector into the inside
diameter of the cable inner tube until the copper
strands are butted against the gun tube connector
shoulder. Keeping the copper strands against the
shoulder, pull the connector nut over the copper
strands, engage the gun tube connector threads,
and tighten in place. Refer to Figure 4.
NOTE: For best results, insert a .250" (6.4mm)
diameter rod through the connector and into core
of cable approximately 5.00" (127mm) when push-
ing the connector tube into the cable core tube. To
tighten, hold the connector in place while turning
the nut, then remove the rod from the core. This
procedure assures the inner core does not kink
while assembling or tightening.
