Wire Splicing
STANDARD PROCEDURE - WIRE SPLICINGWhen splicing a wire, it is important that the correct gauge be used as shown in the wiring diagrams.
1. Remove one-half (1/2) inch of insulation from each wire that needs to be spliced.
2. Place a piece of adhesive lined heat shrink tubing on one side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will be long enough to cover and seal the entire repair area.

3. Place the strands of wire overlapping each other inside of the splice clip (Fig. 23).
Fig.24 Crimping Tool:
4. Using crimping tool, Miller p/n 8272, crimp the splice clip and wires together (Fig. 24)
Fig.25 Solder:
5. Solder the connection together using rosin core type solder only (Fig. 25)
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ACID CORE SOLDER.
Fig.26 Heat Shrink Tubing:
6. Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both ends of the tubing (Fig. 26).
