If replacing a section of wire (8), measure distance between ends of wire (8).
Always use wire of the same gage as the wire being repaired. Use of wire of a smaller
gage will cause equipment damage and/or failure.

Remove .75 in. (1.9 cm) of insulation (9) from both ends of new wire (12).
(11)
Slide two, three inch (7.62 cm) pieces of heat shrink tubing (10) over ends of wire (8).
(12)
Twist the bare ends of wires (8) and new wires (12) together and solder. Make sure solder flows evenly
onto both wires (8) of each joint.
To prevent personal injury, allow solder joint to cool before handling.
