Locator Replacement
See the parts list on the last page of this document for the proper locator order number.
Follow the steps below to replace the locator.
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Swing the existing locator open and away from the hand tool.
3. Firmly press down on the brass pivot shaft with your thumb, while pulling the
locator up. Slip the locator off the top of the brass pivot shaft. See Figure 5.
4. Replace it with the proper locator by putting over the brass pivot shaft and
snapping it into place.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil
excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like any equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum
service life of trouble free crimping. Use light oil (30 weight automotive oil), at all the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3
months. This will significantly enhance the tool life. See Figure 6.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil
transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may
affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects
from becoming lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool in a
clean, dry area.
