Ensure that the wire size stamped on the terminal ^A
or splice corresponds with the wire size stamped
on the stationary die. Crimping head 69099 is
shown in Figures 3 thru 6. The crimping procedure
is identical when using crimping head 69097.
1. Place the terminal or splice in the stationary die
as shown in Figures 4, 5, or 6. For best results,
position the terminal or splice so that the brazed
seam faces the moving die.
2. Activate the power unit so that the crimping die
advances and holds the terminal or splice in place.
Do not deform the terminal or splice barrel.

3. Insert the stripped wire all the way into the
terminal or splice barrel.
4. Activate the power unit to complete the crimp.
5. To crimp the other half of the butt splice, remove
and reposition the uncrimped half in the stationary
die. Insert the wire and crimp the splice.
6. Refer to Section 3, CRIMP INSPECTION and
Figure 7 for crimp inspection information.

If SOLISTRAND terminals or splices stick in the
die after crimping, apply a rocking motion to
remove them from the die.
