In the world of electrics, and especially when installing motorcycle components, a safe and reliable connection is essential.

- Adjust the crimping pliers: Adjust the crimping dies of the pliers to the required size of the cable lug. Make sure that both sides are set equally to ensure an even crimp.
- Insert the battery cable lug: Insert the battery cable lug into the pliers and squeeze it lightly to hold it in place.
- Insert the stripped cable: Insert the stripped end of the cable into the battery cable lug.
- Crimping: Squeeze the crimping tool firmly until it is completely closed. This ensures that the cable lug is firmly attached to the cable.
- Check the crimping: Open the pliers and remove the cable with the attached cable lug. Check the crimping, it should be tight and must not come loose from the cable.
