Instructions

  1. Locate the "Strip Here" mark, or if not visible, make a mark at 6.7" (17 cm) from the end of the cable.
  2. Slide the 1/2" and 1/4" heat shrink pieces over the end of the cable and out of the way.
  3. Slide the two crimps over the cable end.
  4. Loop the cable through the eye in the hook and bring the cable end back onto itself.
  5. Insert the end of the cable through the first crimp and align the end of the cable with the "Strip Here" or 6.7" (17 cm) mark.
  6. Push the first crimp close to the hook, while keeping the end of the cable aligned with the "Strip Here" or 6.7" (17 cm) mark.
  7. Use a vice or crimping tool to secure the first crimp in place. Flattening of the cable should be visible when adequate pressure has been applied.
  8. Slide the second crimp onto the cable end and position it so there is 1" (25 mm) between the two crimps.
  9. Use a vice or crimping tool to secure the second crimp in place. Flattening of the cable should be visible when adequate pressure has been applied.
  10. Slide the 1/4" heat shrink down the cable and over the end of the cable up to the shoulder of the second crimp. Use a hot air gun to shrink the heat shrink over the cables.
  11. Position the 1/2" heat shrink over the crimps and 1/4" heat shrink, such that it overlaps the looped cable by about 1/4" (6 mm). Shrink in place using the hot air gun.
