Put the splice connector in the proper size slot in
the Crimper Tool, slide it to one end (where the
flare begins), and close the crimper handles far
enough to hold it in place. To release the ratchet
mechanism at any point after the first click,
squeeze the handles slightly and push the release
lever, then let the handles open.

Insert one of the bare wires into the splice
connector end that is in the crimper jaws. Push the
wire all the way into the splice connector, and
squeeze the crimper handles. Keep squeezing
until the jaws touch, and hold it at that position
until the ratchet clicks again.

10. Crimp the other wire in the same way into the
other end of the splice connector.
11. After crimping, gently pull on the wires in the
opposite directions to make sure they are secure
in the connector.
12. Separate the other wires in the harness from the
repaired wire(s), and shield them with nonflammable
material.

HEAT GUN
, Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the
middle of the splice connector, and move the gun
toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader
around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each
end of the tube.
NOTE; Be careful when working with the high heat
produced by the heat gun.
Shrinking is complete
when sealant appears here.
