* Bundle the light guides into the anchoring collar at one end of the aluminum bar where there are no springs between the collar and the end of the bar.

** Use the bundling tool to arrange the fibers into a 5x6 matrix. Rotate the bundle so that the fibers will fit in the anchoring collar. Screw the upper half of the collar to the lower half, but not too tightly.  You want the fibers to be able to move lengthwise through the collar.

** Use the flat face of a piece of aluminum to align the ends of the fibers so they all project the same distance beyond the anchoring collar, about a half inch.  One worker may hold the metal, while the other pushes the fibers against it. Tighten the anchoring collar around the bundle so it will not slip.

** One worker should tilt the pipe, and the other should remove the top cap and set it aside. While the one worker holds the pipe tilted, the other inserts the bar.  Be careful not to knock the bundle against bars or pipes below the ceiling.  Also, do not let the bar fall into the straightening unit.  Set it carefully at the bottom of the pipe.

* One worker should tilt the pipe, and the other should remove the cap and take the bar out of the pipe. Replace the cap and raise the pope to its vertical position. Set the bar on the bundling table. Unscrew the collars and remove the straightened bundle. Before putting a new bundle on the aluminum straightening bar, clean the straightened bundle with a damp lint-free cloth, label it, and put it in the intermediate storage box.
