opening dimension (W) to the standard value.
Standard value (W): 2.9 mm
<When more than 2.9 mm>
Screw in the adjusting bolt.
<When less than 2.9 mm>
Loosen the adjusting bolt.
NOTE
(1) The dimension (W) is adjusted by approx. 0.7 mm
per one turn.

to crimp the bellows band securely.
(2) Crimp the bellows band until the special tool
touches the stopper.
3. Check that the crimped width (A) is within the standard
value.
Standard value (A): 2.4 - 2.8 mm
<When more than 2.8 mm>
Readjust the dimension (W) of step (1) to the value
calculated by the following equation, and repeat
step (2).
W = 5.5 mm - A [Example: If (A) is 2.9 mm, (W)
is 2.6 mm.]
<When less than 2.4 mm>
Remove the bellows band, readjust the dimension
(W) of step (1) to the value calculated by the
