5. Firmly, press the connector shell onto the sensor cable until the midsection is flush with the
outside end of the crimp ring.
6. Using the larger hexagonal hole (.429) position the crimp tool over the crimp ring so that the
edge of the crimp tool is right against the smooth midsection of the connector, and a flat
crimping surface is directly above the drain braid. Make the first crimp.
7. Open the crimp tool, and without rotating the crimp tool, connector, or sensor cable, move the
crimp tool over the uncrimped area beside the first crimp and make a second crimp.
8. Make two more crimps so that the full length of the crimp ring is crimped, and the four crimps
are lined up straight.
9. Slide the heatshrink over the crimp until it covers the smooth portion of the connector’s
midsection. DO NOT allow the heatshrink to cover any portion of the rotating end of the
connector.
