Wipe excess oil from the tool, particularly from the
crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area
onto certain terminations may affect the electrical
characteristics of an application.
B. Visual Inspection
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases
and then allow them to open freely. If they do not
open quickly and fully, the spring is defective and
must be replaced. See Section 6, REPLACEMENT
AND REPAIR.
2. Inspect the head for worn, cracked, or broken
crimping dies. If damage is evident, return the tool
for evaluation and repair. See Section 6,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
3. Check die alignment and tighten the die holding
screws at least twice daily while tool is in use.
5.3. Ratchet Inspection
Check the ratchet to ensure that the ratchet does not
release prematurely, allowing the dies to open before
they have fully bottomed. Proceed as follows:
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the bottoming
surfaces of the dies.
2. Obtain a 0.025 mm [.001 in.] shim that is
suitable for checking the clearance between the
bottoming surfaces of the dies.
3. Select a terminal or splice and maximum size
wire for the terminal or splice.
4. Position the terminal or splice in the crimping
chamber according to according to the instructions
included with the crimping dies. Holding the wire in
place, squeeze the tool handles together until the
ratchet releases. Hold the tool handles in this
position, maintaining just enough pressure to keep
the dies closed.
5. Check the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the dies. If the clearance is 0.025 mm
[.001 in.] or less, the ratchet is satisfactory. If
clearance exceeds 0.025 mm [.001 in.], the ratchet
is out of adjustment and must be repaired. See
Section 6, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
