If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage inspection, the dies are considered dimensionally correct, and
should be lubricated with a THIN coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. If not, the dies must be replaced before
returning the die assembly to service (see Section 8, DIE REPLACEMENT).
For additional information regarding the use of a plug gage, refer to Instruction Sheet 408-7424.
6. RATCHET (CRIMP HEIGHT) ADJUSTMENT (Figure 7)
The frame assembly ratchet mechanism features an adjustment wheel with numbered settings. If the crimp
height is not acceptable, adjust the ratchet as follows:
1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet adjustment wheel.
2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel from the opposite side of the frame.
3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment wheel
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a higher-numbered setting. If a looser crimp is required, rotate the
adjustment wheel CLOCKWISE to a lower-numbered setting.
4. Replace the lockscrew.
5. Make a sample crimp and measure the crimp height. If the crimp height is acceptable, secure the
lockscrew. If the dimension is unacceptable, remove lockscrew and continue to adjust the ratchet, and
again measure a sample crimp.

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 crimping dies, and store in a clean, dry area.
