Handle and replace the high-voltage cable (tube and SRU ends)
Disconnect and reconnect the high-voltage cable at the X-ray tube end and at the SRU end, using the correct cleaning, silicone-compound and torque steps for whichever of the three cable variants (BSX71-0782 / BSX71-0588-12, BSX71-0841E, or the 75 kV IEC standard product) is actually fitted, and replace the welded rubber at the SRU end when it is disturbed.

Safety
Hazard: Rotating the cable, or removing the bushing suddenly, from the X-ray tube receptacle while disconnecting the high-voltage cable at the tube end
Consequence: May damage the pin section on the tip of the bushing
Avoidance: Do not rotate the cable or remove the bushing suddenly from the X-ray tube receptacle. (Source prints this as a CAUTION; FSELIB classifies it NOTICE per the Z535 consequence mapping, since the stated outcome is bushing-pin damage — equipment only, no personal-injury outcome is described.)
Hazard: Rotating the cable after inserting the bushing into the X-ray tube receptacle, while connecting the high-voltage cable at the tube end
Consequence: May damage the pin section on the tip of the bushing
Avoidance: Do not rotate the cable after inserting the bushing into the X-ray tube receptacle. (Source prints this as a CAUTION; FSELIB classifies it NOTICE for the same equipment-only reason as above.)
Hazard: Uneven bolt tightness when torquing the welded-rubber connection bolt at the SRU end
Consequence: The connector may be damaged
Avoidance: Tighten each bolt a little at a time until the specified torque (9.8 N·m) is reached. (Source prints this as a CAUTION; FSELIB classifies it NOTICE, since the stated outcome is connector damage — equipment only.)
Hazard: Disconnecting the 75 kV IEC-standard cable plug during maintenance or inspection without replacing the silicon plate with a new one, or using silicon plates/oil not manufactured by Claymount Corporation
Consequence: May result in system malfunction
Avoidance: Replace the silicon plate with a new one whenever the cable plug is disconnected for maintenance or inspection; use only silicon plates and silicon oil manufactured by Claymount Corporation. (Source prints this as a CAUTION; FSELIB classifies it NOTICE, since the stated outcome is system malfunction — equipment only.)
