7. CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
8. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Although the ratchet is preset prior to shipment, it is
important to verify the crimp height using a
micrometer or caliper. General use and subsequent
wear may cause the tool to go out of adjustment. It is
recommended that crimp height be inspected, and the
ratchet be adjusted, if necessary, on a regular basis.
Refer to Figure 4, and proceed as follows:
1. If the crimp height is larger than recommended,
remove the ratchet wheel adjustment screw and
rotate the adjustment wheel counterclockwise (+)
to a higher setting. Reinstall the screw. Repeat as
required.
2. If the crimp height is smaller than
recommended, remove the ratchet wheel
adjustment screw and rotate the adjustment wheel
clockwise (--) to a lower setting. Reinstall the
screw. Repeat as required.
3. If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the
recommended crimp height, the tool or die set
must be replaced. See Section 9,
REPLACEMENT.
8.1. Daily Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or a clean, soft, lint--free
cloth. DO NOT use any objects that could damage
the dies or tool.
2. Make sure that the proper die retaining screws
are properly secured.
3. When the tool is not in use, keep the handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the dies. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.
4. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film
from the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable
commercial degreaser.
8.2. Inspection
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
and then allow them to quickly open freely. If they
do not open quickly and fully, the spring is
defective. See Section 9, REPLACEMENT.
2. Inspect the crimping surfaces of the dies for
flattened, chipped, worn, or cracked areas. If
damage is evident, the dies must be replaced.
Refer to Section 9, REPLACEMENT.
