1. Place the terminal or splice in the stationary die as shown in Figure 5.
NOTE
Verify the crimp area of the dies is centered between the crimp marks of the terminal or splice.

2. Activate the power unit so the moving die advances and holds the terminal or splice in place without
deforming the wire barrel.
3. Insert the stripped wire until it bottoms in the terminal and is visible through the sight hole.
For parallel splices, make sure the ends of the wires are at least flush with, or extend slightly beyond
the end of the wire barrel.
4. Activate power unit to complete the first crimp.
5. Remove the terminal or splice from the dies.
6. Before making the 2^nd crimp, it will be necessary to turn either the terminal (or splice), the crimping
head, or the dies around. Then, position the terminal or splice in the dies as shown in Figure 5 and
repeat Steps 2 and 3.
7. Activate the power unit to complete the 2^nd crimp.
8. Remove the terminal or splice from the dies and inspect the crimp in accordance with Section 5;
CRIMP INSPECTION.
