Ring Terminals
When making electrical connections, crimp ring terminals onto the ends of the wires to

•
The barrel crimping indent is well-formed and properly positioned.
•
The insulated wire’s grip impression is well-formed and provides proper support
without crushing the insulation.
•
The wire does not move independently of the lug. Firmly tug on the ring terminal to
ensure it does not pull loose.
•
The end of the bare wire protrudes through the crimp barrel approximately 0.03 to
0.125" depending on the lug size and crimp tool.
Install the ring terminal on the ground connection using one of the following options:

It is extremely important that you create clean, secure, tight, metal-to-metal grounds.
