10- Place a single terminal that mates with the intended S&S EFI wire harness terminal inside the Deutsch® crimper tool, taking special care not to
crimp the terminal until the wire is installed.
NOTE: Proper crimping of the terminals is necessary in order for the component to operate to its full potential. An improperly crimped terminal could
prevent the component from working. Read the instructions provided with the crimper or consult a professional on how to use the tool. Practice may also
help before crimping the final product. If a terminal is crimped poorly, replace with one of the supplied extra terminals.
11- Insert a wire into the terminal which is being held in the crimper tool. See Picture 4. Slide the component wire just past the inside of the
terminal’s insulation crimp tangs. See Picture 5. Squeeze the crimper tool until it stops and you will have a crimped terminal. See Picture 6.
12- Repeat step 10 and 11 for the rest of the terminals in that connector.
13- Once all wire leads of the component have had terminals installed, insert each wire into its correct position in the connector housing. The
connector housing will positively lock the wire into place if properly installed.
Failure to correctly match the component wires with the correct wires on the S&S EFI wire harness may result in permanent damage to the
component or the S&S EFI wire harness when power is supplied to the assembly. Please take special care when identifying wire colors and
where they should go. If in any doubt, consult a professional at a shop with the component instructions and the wiring diagram supplied
with your S&S EFI wire harness. Improper installation could result in injury or death.
14- After each wire is inserted into the connector housing, slide the seal back up the wires and position the seal back inside the housing. If
necessary, install sealing plugs to block off moisture from entering the connector housing. See Picture 7.
15- Finish the assembly by installing the connector’s secondary lock, which helps prevent the wire leads from coming out. See Picture 8 & 9.
16- Finally, connect the component connector to the S&S EFI wire harness.
B. CONNECTING THE BATTERY
This is the last step of installing your connectors for your additional components. Until now S&S recommended to not connect the battery
until told to do so in these instructions. Failure to do so may result in damage to your wire harness and other motorcycle electronics
which can result in costly repair and service fees. With the battery also remaining disconnected during the entirety of this installation,
it prevents accidental starting of the motorcycle which could cause injury to you or others around you. The following instructions will
guide you through the steps necessary in connecting the battery.
1- After the harness has been routed and all sensors/components have been installed and connected, install your battery in the appropriate
location.
2- Connect the positive lead (+) first followed by the negative lead (-).
