How to Adjust Tool Preload
(See Figure 11)
This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45 pounds preload. It may be necessary
over the life of the tool to adjust tool handle preload force. Listed below are the
steps required to adjust the crimping force of the hand tool to obtain proper crimp conditions:
1.
Hold the hand tool in the palm of your
hand as shown in Figure 10. Using
your index finger, squeeze the link
toward the top of the hand tool frame.
This will release the preload
adjustment wheel.
2.
Rotate the setting wheel
counterclockwise (CCW) to increase
handle force. The numbers will display
higher. To decrease handle force,
rotate the setting wheel clockwise
(CW).
3.
Release the link to lock the setting
wheel in place.
4.
Check the crimp specifications or
conduct a pull test after tool handle
preload force is adjusted.
