Carefully insert the pointed end of the supplied tool into the split-ring’s gap (labelled ‘C’ in the illustration). The tool widens the gap in the split ring, enabling the split ring to be pushed further back onto the connector in the following step.
- Page 38 4. Use the tool to gently lever the split ring over the moulding on the connector until it snaps into position approximately 0.5 cm further back towards the cable-end of the connector. You can now remove the tool. The split-ring stays in position on the connector, but rotates freely. 5.
- Page 39 The locking collar slides easily towards the plug-end of the connector, before butting up against the split-ring moulding. 7. Grasp the body of the connector with one hand, then with the other hand, pull the locking collar firmly towards the plug-end of the connector. As you pull the locking collar, it clicks into place over the split-ring.
