How To Install Terminal Lugs
STEP 1: STRIP 1” (2.5 CM) OF INSULATION FROM EACH END OF
CABLES
NOTE: Take care when stripping insulation to avoid damaging conductor. If
some strands are removed the terminal may not make a good
connection possibly resulting in performance reduction, a fire hazard
or the cable pulling out of the terminal lug.
STEP 2: CHOOSE A TERMINAL LUG TO MATCH THE CABLE
GAUGE(SEE PAGE 41)
STEP 3: INSERT CABLE INTO TERMINAL LUG
STEP 4: FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE CRIMPING
TOOL. NOTE: HIT CRIMPING TOOL ON A SOLID SURFACE
WITH SEVERAL SHARP BLOWS. ENSURE CABLE IS
PROPERLY SECURED TO THE LUG BY DOIN G A PULL TEST.
STEP 5: INSTALL HEAT SHRINK TUBE
Slide shrink tube up the cable so that it covers the shaft of the terminal and the
insulation of the cable.
Apply even heat to the shrink tube until it makes a solid seal around the cable and
terminal.
