Note: The sleeve should be sitting loose in this temporary location. It must not be
snagged against the container and strap or between the crimp and strap.
39. Using scissors, carefully trim off the tail of the strap as close as possible to the crimp. The
maximum distance permitted between the end of the tail and the crimp is .59in. (15mm).
Caution: Use a hot air gun with correct voltage.
Caution: A heat setting too hot will overheat the strap, weakening and/or burning it in
the process. Do not overhead the strap. Do not point the heat gun directly at
the strap. If any discolorations are noticed on the strap, it has been
overheated. In this case it must be cut off, discarded, and a replacement
fitted.
Warning: Use extreme care with the hot air gun. Allow sufficient time for parts to cool
before handling directly. Air gun nozzle will remain hot after use.
40. With the heat gun set at HOT, apply heat evenly over the heat-shrink sleeve. The sleeve should
be heated evenly from both the left and the right hand sides. (See Fig. 30)

41. Ensure the entire crimp and tail are completely encapsulated and that the heat-shrink sleeve
overlaps in both directions by at least .2in. (5mm).
42. Using protective gloves, pinch the ends of the heat-shrink sleeve while it is still cooling, to ensure
that they have sealed tight against the strap.
43. When the join is completed correctly, the adhesive inside the sleeve will be observable at its cut
edges, forming a seal with the strap. The finished joint should be positioned so that the sleeve
does not directly contact the container – otherwise it may wear out from abrasion.
