Assembly
Place the bushing and chuck over the cable first, prepare the cable as shown in the NEUTRIK product manual, slide the conductors into the contacts and clamp them with the screws (Torx T8, 0.7 Nm), then fit the chuck on the insert, slide both into the housing and push and turn the bushing on. All three parts must have the same colour coding: blue for power-in.
