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 other equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a
maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil (such
as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000
crimps or 3 months, will significantly enhance the tool life.
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.
Pull Test Procedure
Pull testing is to be done with no influence from the
insulation crimp.
Pull testing can be done by the following steps:
1.
Open the tool by squeezing the handles together, at the end of the closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism will
release the handles, and the hand tool will spring open.
2.
Load the terminal with the carrier strip into the proper profile make sure the carrier strip pilot hole fits over the
positioning pin on the locator.
3.
Do Not
close the wire stop.
4.
Position a wire form the back side of the hand tool and into the conductor crimp area only. See Figure 5.
5.
Carefully crimp the terminal.
6.
When pull testing, grip the carrier strip in one jaw and the wire insulation in the other jaw. See Figure 6.
