  • Once you get to a clean terminal end or have one with a couple of wires off of it, insert it back into the handle and NOTE how it is keyed to fit one way.
  • Close the handle and assure a good fit
(you could use the battery and see which terminal side is +/-. I dotted my terminal with RED for +
  • Reopen the handle, remove the terminal and attach to your wires
  • We used an old extension cord to connect to the terminal
  • Solder in the 2 ends
  • Insert the terminal and wire into the handle as shown
  • I snaked the wire through some of the guides which made it feel tight but you could try and tie a knot or wiretie in something for a strain relief.
  • Close the handle, insert screws and tighten down.
  • Making suring the other end of your cable/wires are capped (NO CROSSED WIRES!) insert the battery to assure a good fit/click.
  • If things do NOT feel right, be sure you inserted the terminal/socket in the right way as it's easy to get it wrong (50/50 chance)
