6. RATCHET (Crimp Height) ADJUSTMENT (Figure 5)
The ratchet mechanism features an adjustment wheel
with eight settings. The adjustment wheel controls the
amount of handle pressure exerted on the tool jaws
and crimping dies during crimping. If the crimp is not
acceptable, adjust the ratchet as follows:
1. Sufficiently loosen the screw at the ratchet
adjustment wheel so that the wheel can be rotated
above the post that engages the teeth in the wheel.
2. If the crimp is too loose, turn the wheel to a
higher notch (for example, if the wheel is set at
notch no. 5, move the wheel to notch no. 6). If the
crimp is too tight, move the wheel to a lower notch.
3. Tighten the screw at the ratchet adjustment
wheel.
If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the
dimensions provided in the appropriate product
application specification, the tool and/or dies are
defective and must be replaced.
NOTE
i
Other dies of the PRO-CRIMPER series may be
used in this tool; however, the ratchet adjustment
wheel may require adjustment to achieve
acceptable crimp height.
7. MAINTENANCE
Ensure that the tool and dies are clean by wiping
them with a clean, soft cloth. Remove any debris with
a clean, soft brush. Do not use objects that could
damage the tool. When not in use, keep handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the dies, and store in a clean, dry area.
8. REPLACEMENT
Customer–replaceable parts are shown in Figure 1. If
the dies are damaged or worn excessively, they must
be replaced.
