HAND CRIMP TOOL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The supplied hand crimping tool (W/S#850067) is used for all I/O wiring con-
nections to and from the console. It is to be used with the supplied pin (figure 1)
intended for 22"-28" gauge wire.
(2) The terminal conductor tabs (pointing UP) are
placed in anvil 18-22; the terminal's insulation tabs
