Application:

Cut the 0.5m supplied length, to the length you require with a sharp pair of scissors, then remove the small screw holding the UJ to the Rooster Carbon tiller and slide the heat shrink onto the tube at the desired place. Using a hot air gun (such as used for paint stripping) applying heat to give an even grip surface and appearance, until fully sealed to the tiller tube. You will need to rotate the tiller to evenly apply the heat and make it shrink.  Avoid the Rooster rubber end stopper of your tiller as this may get damaged with the heat if applied too close and for too long. See below video of the process.
