Take a look at the instructions here
If my recollection of ARES discussions on this is correct
(they are not the standard here yet, so I haven't committed
this to memory), one of the keys to good Powerpole
installations is to use a well-fitting crimper. One
solution is to find a Kline 1006
at your local electrical supply outfit. They are about $20
and are perfect for the job. Or, you can order the crimping
pliers from PowerWerx (but you'll need to pay S&H again)
. There is an Anderson
tool for this also, but IIRC it's very expensive. You will
also need a fine-bladed mini-screwdriver to help seat the
connectors in the plastic housings.
