the union fitting and tighten securely.

Refer to Figure 5-G and:

20. Pull each end of the shielded inner sleeving (from the

existing leads and from the leads extension) up and
over the plasma and coolant supply insulators. Posi-
tion the 12-inch shielded inner sleeving connector
down over the completed coolant supply and plasma
connections. Secure the connector in place with a hose
clamp on each end.

Locate the hose clamps over the plasma and coolant
supply insulators to provide a solid connection. The
shielding must be continuous throughout the connection
(from the extension kit, through the connector, to the
original leads) to ensure proper shielding protection.

21. Connect the secondary and coolant return leads to the

extension kit fittings.

22. Slide the 24-inch nylon sleeving connector down to

cover all connections. Secure with electrical tape.
