the uncrimped sleeve in the crimping jaws as

described in Step 2. Follow Steps 3 through 6 to

complete the crimp.

shown in Figures 3 and 4.

3. Insert unstripped wire only into the

insulation barrel of the terminal or splice. See

Figures 3 and 4.

4. Crimp terminal or splice as described in

Paragraph 4.1.

5. Remove terminal or splice. Bend wire forward

and then backward. The terminal or splice should

retain its grip on the wire. If the wire pulls out,

reposition the insulation adjustment pins in the next

tighter position and repeat crimping procedure.

6. Repeat adjustment as necessary until desired

insulation grip is obtained. DO NOT use a tighter

setting than required.
