Connect the four terminal lugs, one to each stripped end of wire. Use the crimper to secure the lugs onto the stripped wire ends.

Connect one end of the red battery cable to the positive battery terminal and one end of the black battery cable to the negative battery terminal. Secure each lug with a washer then a nut on the top of each battery terminal.

Insert each cable into the corresponding port on the terminal block. The red cable goes into the port marked "+" and the black cable goes into the port marked "-."

Secure the wires into the terminal block with the screwdriver by tightening each screw over both lugs. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws.
