4. Insert insulation crimp adjustment pins into
Position 1.
5. Check the insulation barrel section of the
crimping chamber using the insulation crimp
plug gage in the same manner as in Steps 2 and
3. See Figure 6, Detail B.
If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage
inspection, the tool is considered dimensionally
correct, and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of
any good SAE 20 motor oil. If not, refer to Section 6,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR for obtaining further
evaluation and repair.
For additional information regarding the use of plug
gages, refer to Instruction Sheet 408-7424.
5.5. CERTI- CRIMP Tool Ratchet Inspection
The CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet should be checked to
ensure that the ratchet does not release prematurely,
allowing the jaws to open before they have fully
bottomed. Obtain a 0.025 mm [.001 in.] shim that is
suitable for checking the clearance between the
bottoming surfaces of the crimping jaws. Proceed as
follows:
1. Select a splice and maximum size wire for the tool.
2. Position the splice and wire in tool as
described in Section 3, CRIMPING
PROCEDURE.
3. Hold the wire in place and squeeze the
handles until the ratchet releases. Hold the
handles in this position, maintaining just enough
tension to keep the jaws closed.

4. Close the tool handles until it is evident that
the jaws have bottomed; then hold in this
position. Do NOT force the jaws beyond initial
contact.
5. Check the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the crimping jaws. 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.
