Step 1
Insert the crimp contact into the proper position as listed on the TRicrimp tool (15 / 30 / 45). The 15 & 30 contacts should be inserted with the fiat side of the contact facing down. For the 45A contacts with the “U”, open contact should be facing up. Insert the contact as far as it will go into the contact positioner block.

Step 2
Strip 1/4” of insulation off your wire. Insert the stripped wire end into the pre-installed contact fully so that the wire insulation touches the back edge of the contact. Do not leave any copper exposed between the contact and insulation. Ensure your contact continues to be fully inserted into the contact positioner block and rests with the flat side of the contact facing down.

Step 3
Squeeze the ratchet handles together until the ratchet mechanism automatically releases back open, confirming the crimp is complete. If the TRicrimp does not auto release open, see instructions below.
Manual Release Lever
In the event that the TRicrimp tool ratchet mechanism does not auto release after your crimp, you will need to use the manual release lever. It is located on top of the bottom handle and will be visible while the ratcheting mechanism is engaged closed. To use the release lever, you will apply force to the lever in a forward direction towards the jaw, which allows the ratcheting mechanism to disengage and allow the handles to fully release in the open position.
