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 pin, pivot points
and bearing surfaces are protected
with a thin coat of high quality
machine oil. Do not oil excessively.
The 64003-7200 (RHT-4754) was
engineered for durability, but like
any fine piece of equipment it needs
cleaning and lubrication for a
maximum service life of trouble-free
crimping. A light oil such as 30
weight automotive oil used at the oil
points shown in Figure 4, every
5,000 crimps or 3 months will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable
calibration.
4. 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.

force the

How To Adjust Tool Preload
(See
Figure 5)
Over the life of the tool, it may be necessary
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. Remove the screw and plastic cover
washer. Note the setting wheel position.
2. Lift the setting wheel off the axle. Turn
the eccentric axle with a screwdriver.
3. Turning the eccentric axle counter-
clockwise will increase handle force.
4. Replace the setting wheel to the axle, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to the
dowel pin.
