4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
The following procedure provides only general
information concerning crimping. Refer to the
instructions packaged with the die set and power unit
for detailed information.
1. Insert the terminal or splice in the stationary die
according to the instructions packaged with the die
set.
2. Activate the power unit to advance the dies and
hold the terminal or splice in place.
3. Insert the stripped wire into the terminal or
splice.
4. Activate the power unit to complete the crimp.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
DANGER
Make sure hydraulic pressure is released and
power supply is disconnected before following the
maintenance and inspection procedure, unless
otherwise specified in the procedure.

3. Tighten the screws.
4. Slowly close the dies to ensure proper
alignment.
5. Complete the cycle and return the ram to the
“down” position.
B. Die Removal
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, DO NOT accidentally
depress the footswitch or handle control when
installing or removing dies.
CAUTION
!
Operating the crimping head WITHOUT the dies
installed will damage the “C”- head or ram.
1. Back off the self--locking screw in the “C”--head,
and remove the stationary die.
5.1. Inspection
The crimping head is assembled and inspected
before shipment. It is recommended that the crimping
head be inspected immediately upon arrival at your
facility, and at regularly scheduled intervals, to ensure
that the crimping head has not been damaged during
handling. Frequency of inspection depends upon the
following:
— care, amount of use, and handling of the head
— type and size of products crimped
— degree of operator skill
— environmental conditions
Once a year, or every 7,500 cycles (whichever comes
first), the crimping head should be returned to Tyco
Electronics for magnetic particle inspection.
Additionally, inspect and service the crimping head
every month or 1,000 cycles, whichever comes first.
Inspect the metal surfaces for nicks, cracks,
scratches, and excessive wear, especially where
sliding contact occurs. Inspect for cracks especially at
the corners of the “C“--head and around the top of the
cylinder. Refer to Figure 3.
