000173
1. Remove ring terminal (Figure 2, Item 6) from wire (Figure 2, Item 2) by cutting through wire just behind heat-
shrinkable tubing (Figure 2, Item 1).
2. Cut heat-shrinkable tubing (Figure 2, Item 1) to length sufficient to cover tabs (Figure 2, Items 4 and 5) of ring
terminal (Figure 2, Item 6) and 1/4 in. (6 mm) of wire (Figure 2, Item 2).
3. Slide heat-shrinkable tubing (Figure 2, Item 1) back on wire (Figure 2, Item 2).
4. Using wire stripping tool, strip insulation from wire (Figure 2, Item 2) to expose proper length of metal strands
(Figure 2, Item 3).
5. Using crimping tool, securely crimp tabs (Figure 2, Item 5) of ring terminal (Figure 2, Item 6) over metal strands
(Figure 2, Item 3).
6. Using crimping tool, crimp tabs (Figure 2, Item 4) of ring terminal (Figure 2, Item 6) over insulation of wire (Fig-
ure 2, Item 2).
7. Slide heat-shrinkable tubing (Figure 2, Item 1) over tabs (Figure 2, Items 4 and 5) of ring terminal (Figure 2,
Item 6).
8. Use a heat gun to apply heat to heat-shrinkable tubing (Figure 2, Item 1) until tubing snugly conforms to ring
terminal (Figure 2, Item 6) and insulation of wire (Figure 2, Item 2).
