ADJUSTING THE CONTACT SUPPORT 

The contact support is preset prior to shipment, but minor adjustments may be necessary. Refer to Figure 3 
and proceed as follows: 

1.  Make a sample crimp and determine if the contact is straight, bending upward, or bending downward. 

2.  If adjustment is required, loosen the screw that holds the contact support onto the locator assembly. 

3.  Place a contact with wire into the proper nest and close the handles until the ratchet reaches the sixth 

click, or until the contact support touches the contact. 

4.  Move the contact support as required to eliminate the bending of the contact. 

5.  Tighten the screw and close the handles until the ratchet releases. 

6.  Remove and inspect the contact. 

7.  Make another sample crimp. If the contact is still being bent during crimping, repeat the adjustment 

procedure.
