    INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
    NORMAL HEATING INSTRUCTIONS
    Step 1.

    Step 4

    Identify the section of cable to be trained. If the cable


    section is wet, wipe it dry.

    Wrap the Cable Training Tool around the cable as


    shown in Figure 2. Do not overlap the tape onto itself.
    This may cause overheating and damage the cable
    or Cable Training Tool.

    Step 2

    Visually inspect the Cable Training Tool for cuts or


    physical damage.

    Step 3

    Attach the thermostat end of the Cable Training Tool


    securely to the cable using D-ring straps as shown in
    Figure 1.

    Thermostat

    Figure 2.
    Wrap, but do not overlap tape.

    Step 5
    Figure 1.
    Attach thermostat end of Cable Training Tool to cable
    using D-ring straps.

    Once the slack is taken out of the Cable Training Tool,


    secure the loose end of the Cable Training Tool using
    the D-ring strap. (If accelerated heating performance
    is required, see supplemental instructions under
    Accelerated Heating Instructions.)

    Step 6

    Plug in electrical cord to a 120V outlet for approximately


    30 minutes. (The Cable Training Tool is thermostatically
    controlled and will not overheat the cable. Longer heat
    times improve the training ability of the cable.)

    Step 7

    Unplug the power cord. Remove the Cable Training


    Tool and form the cable to desired shape.

    CAUTION: Cable Training Tool and cable are


    hot! Wear gloves when removing.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Step 5C

    Pinch both ends together and tape closed as shown in


    Figure 4.

    If the cable training tool is being performed in cold weather


    or shorter heat times are desired, insulation can be wrapped
    around the cable during heating. Any flexible elastomeric
    thermal pipe insulation can be used. A particular brand
    that works well is called AP Armaflex Pipe Insulation by
    Armacell LLC.

    Step 5A

    Use a section of AP Armaflex Pipe Insulation with a 4


    ID, long enough to completely cover the Cable Training
    Tool when it is wrapped around cable.

    Step 5B

    Slide insulation over the cable and Cable Training Tool,


    making sure that the thermostat is completely covered
    as shown in Figure 3. It is important to ensure that the
    thermostat is completely protected from drafts and
    cold air. If the thermostat is not completely protected,
    overheating and damage to the cable may occur.

    Figure 4.
    Pinch insulation closed and secure with tape.

    Figure 3.
    Completely cover thermostat with insulation.
