1. Strip the wire to the dimension provided in
Figure 2, being careful to avoid nicking or
damaging the conductor(s).
Do NOT use wire with nicked or missing
conductors.
Make sure terminal insulation color code matches
tool handle color.
2. Open the tool jaws by closing the tool handles
until the ratchet releases, then allow the handles to
open fully.
3. Place the terminal in the dies so that the wire
barrel butts against the locator .
4. Close the tool handles until the terminal is held
firmly in place. Do NOT deform the terminal.
5. Insert properly stripped wire into the terminal
until the end of the conductor butts against the
locator.
Do NOT allow wire insulation to enter the
terminal wire barrel.
6. Complete the crimp by closing the tool handles
until the ratchet releases.
7. Release the tool handles, allow the handles to
open fully, and remove the crimped terminal.
8. Observe the dot code on the finished crimp to
ensure that the correct terminal and tool
combination was used. See Figure 2.
9. Refer to Section 4 and Figure 4 for terminal
crimp inspection procedure.
