3.1. Applicator Installation
DANGER
STOP
To avoid personal injury, be SURE the terminator is
turned off and power to the machine is
disconnected BEFORE installing or removing the
applicator.

terminator ram using the two locating pins shown in
Figure 4.
2. Secure the the tool holder into position with two
cap screws.
B. Applicator Base (Lower Tooling) Installation

holder and secure the base plate to the terminator
base as follows:
1. Align the lower tooling to the upper tooling (tool
holder with the crimper installed) In the side-to-side
direction.

To avoid personal injury, be SURE the terminator is
turned off and power to the machine is
disconnected BEFORE installing or removing the
applicator. Lower the ram by removing the power
cord from the back of the terminator. Insert a hex
wrench into back of the gearbox and turn the drive
sprocket.
a. Place the base plate of the applicator onto the
base portion of the terminator and loosely install
two 6mm screws.
b. Double a piece of paper over the anvil and
lower the terminator ram and tool holder so that
the crimper engages with the anvil.
c. Try to rotate the lower portion of the applicator.
It should not have any movement. If side-to-side
movement is present, lower the ram and crimper
until the base plate does not move.
If the ram is at the bottom-dead-center position
and there is still movement, the crimper must
be adjusted. Refer to Paragraph 5.1, Crimp
Height Adjustment.
If the lower portion has no movement then it is
properly located side to side.
2. Align the lower tooling to the upper tooling (tool
holder with the crimper installed) In the
front-to-
back
direction.

The lower tooling on the base plate is located
properly when the bellmouth on the product is
within the specified range.
