CAUTION:

If additional wire is needed when making a splice repair to any wire, it is important that the same or next larger size wire gauge be used. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram for the original wire gauge size.

  1. Remove 13 millimeters (0.50 inch) of insulation from each wire that needs to be spliced.

  3. Place the strands of the wires being spliced so that they are overlapping each other within the splice band (1).
