Removing a SOC Adapter
Use a SOC removal tool (Greenlee part number 50606871 or 60687) to
remove SOC adapters. If this tool is not available, follow this procedure:
1. Grasp the sides of the SOC adapter and pull it off the interface, as
shown above. SOC adapters require considerable force to remove. Do
not attempt to pry the adapter off the interface or damage will result.
2. Put the adapter in a clean place.
Installing a SOC Adapter
1. Locate the anti-rotation key on the interface.
2. With the keyway properly aligned, push the adapter over the interface
until it snaps in place, as shown above.
