Heathkit Color Bar and Dot Generator Model IG-28

I will be using this unit to adjust my 25EC58 chassis and have a question about the color gun leads.

The manual says to connect the red, green and blue leads to the rgb grid leads of the picture tube socket (assuming they mean the G2 leads). It says to make sure the point of each alligator clip pierces the insulation of the lead. This leads me to two questions.

1. Is this something I want to do? Is it okay to go about piercing the insulation?

2. Will these leads connected as instructed allow me to do what they intend (short the color gun for setup and adjusting)?

Thanks!
