Cautions on use of electro-tap

is broken. You can use it as it is.

electro-tap, but cut the wire for the accessory leaving about 30
mm of it, and wrap it together with the vehicle harness with
electrical tape for insulation.
CAUTION
The terminal is embedded in the insulator. If it is not, insert
the terminal as shown in the figure and press it in until it is
securely fixed.
CAUTION
The temporary lock is provided on only one side. Stop short
of locking the final locks.
CAUTION
Pinch the electro-tap until a clicking sound is heard from the
final locks on the both sides.
CAUTION
Do not reuse a used electro-tap.
