As shipped, the stepper motor wires are a lot longer than they need to be. Trim the stepper
motor wires so they overlap with the ends of the Y tower fed wires by about 3 inches.
Fig. 10-24: Trimmed to length.
Strip about 1/2" of insulation off both the stepper motor wires and the feed wires coming from
the Y tower.
If you've never spliced wire before, I'd
recommend using a simple splice called a Western
Union Splice. You can see how it's done below in Ill.
10-1.
Below is an example of what the splice looks like.
