Installation & Maintenance Information
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
APPLICATION
PowerMate™ plugs and receptacles are designed for the distribution of secondary electrical power and to provide for quick
disconnect from the power source.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid electrical shock or electrocution, electrical
power must be OFF before and during installation and
maintenance. Installation and maintenance procedure must
be performed by a trained and competent electrician.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid electrical shock or electrocution, receptacles
connected to circuits having different voltages,
frequencies, or types of current (AC or DC) on the same
premises shall be of such design that the attachment plugs
used on these circuits are not interchangeable.

WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid electrical shock or electrocution, a wire pattern
MUST be used so that the same color wire is put into
the same numbered contact opening in all plugs and
receptacles in the system. This requirement provides
correct polarity for the system and eliminates possibilities
for equipment damage and / or personal injuries.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
To avoid electrical shock or electrocution, for products
rated above 100 Amp, do not disconnect plug under
load. Remove power from the branch circuit before
disconnecting plug from receptacle.

9. Brass Retaining Ring
14. Cable Leads
12. Terminal Pressure Screws
11. Insulator Assembly
2. Plug Sleeve
16. Plug Locking Tabs
III. To Re-Assemble CCP Plug
1. Slide assembled plug interior parts into sleeve (2). NOTE:
The grounding strap from the grounding contact in Style 2
plugs is also attached to the sleeve with hex head, slotted
machine screws. The strap is to be placed on top of the
retaining cup. Re place hex head, slotted machine screws (10),
tightening to 30 in.-lbs.
2. Screw plug handle body (8) into plug sleeve until handle
body (8) bottoms out and o-ring (13) is compressed, wrench
tight.
3. Tighten sleeve locking screw (1) firmly.
4. Push rubber bushing (6) into place in plug handle body (8).
Follow with metal gland washer (7).
5. Screw gland nut (4) onto end of handle body (8). Screw
it down tight enough to squeeze the rubber bushing firmly
against the cable (80 ft.-lbs.). While doing this, push in on the
cable to prevent strain on wire terminals.
6. Visually inspect rubber bushing to ensure uniform seating
around the cable.
7. Tighten gland nut set screw (3) to 35 in.-lbs. to prevent
torsional stresses on cable from loosening the gland nut (4) and
twisting the wires at the contact terminals.
8. Tighten mechanical cable grip by means of screws (5) to a
minimum torque value of 60 in.-lbs.
