S t e p Four: R e - F o r m the L o c k i n g T a n g
If the lead and terminal are in good condi-
tion, re-form the locking tang.
—Hold the lead firmly to prevent the splice
between the terminal and the wire from
flexing.
—Use the pick (J28742-A or the equivalent)
to bend the locking tang back into its
original shape (see Figure 28). Also,
check to see that the remainder of the ter-
minal is still in its original shape. (See
Step Six for instruction in inserting the
lead.)
S t e p F i v e : M a k e t h e Repair
When you make a repair, use the correct
types of terminals, wires, and seals.
To add a new lead, cut the wire and crimp and
solder on the Weather P a c k ® lead assembly
(see Figure 29) using rosin core solder. (Follow
the instructions for splicing wire outlined ear-
lier in this section for a review of splicing pro-
cedures.)
If Weather P a c k ® lead assemblies are not
available, splice a new terminal and cable seal
onto the existing wire.
—Cut the wire immediately behind the
cable seal.
—Slip the new cable seal onto the wire and
push it back out of the way.
—Strip 5.0mm (3/16") of insulation from
the wire.
