RING TERMINAL REPAIR
0022 00
1.
Remove ring terminal (33) from wire (34) by cutting through wire just behind heat shrink tubing (35).
2.
Cut heat shrink tubing (35) to length sufficient to cover tabs (36 and 37) of ring terminal (38) and 1/4-in. (6 mm) of wire
(34).
3.
Slide heat shrink tubing (35) back on wire (34).
4.
Using wire stripping tool, strip insulation from wire (34) to expose proper length of metal strands (38).
5.
Using crimping tool, securely crimp tabs (37) of ring terminal (33) over metal strands (38).
6.
Using crimping tool, crimp tabs (36) of ring terminal (33) over insulation of wire (34).
7.
Slide heat shrink tubing (35) over tabs (36 and 37) of ring terminal (33).
8.
Use a heat gun to apply heat to heat shrink tubing (35) until tubing snugly conforms to ring terminal (33) and insulation
of wire (34).

SPLICING WIRES
N OT E
The selection of crimping tool and type of splice connector is optional. High-quality splice connectors can
be expected to last the life of the machine.
1.
Inspect each end of wire (39). Trim insulation and metal strands (40) of wire back, as necessary, to ensure integrity of
wire.
2.
Using wire stripping tool, strip each end of wire (39) to expose length of metal strands (40) to suit type of splice connec-
tor (41) used.
N OT E
Perform steps 3 and 4 at each end of splice connector.
3.
Insert metal strands (40) of wire (39) fully into splice connector (41).
4.
Using crimping tool, securely crimp splice connector (41) to metal strands (40) of wire (39).
