3. Remove the single revolution limiter bolt (Figure 16).
4. Hold the ram assembly with the ram post (or clamp, depending on the applicator style) pointing up.
5. Unscrew the ram post (or clamp) from the ram, exposing the adjustment screw assembly. If necessary,
place the ram in a soft-jaw vise to free both hands for turning the ram post (or clamp).
6. Loosen and unscrew the ram post (or clamp) from the adjustment bolt to access the shims.
7. Select shims of the appropriate thickness.
a. Start with the amount to be added (determined in step 1).
b. If the old washer is broken and must be replaced, measure the thickness of the broken washer with
a micrometer and add this measurement to the amount from step 1.
c. Select the new shims based the total.
8. Place the new shims on the ram post or clamp.
9. Re-tighten the ram post to the adjustment bolt with the spacer and new shims placed in between.
10. Lightly grease the threads of the adjustment bolt with the recommended greases.
11. While holding the ram with the hole facing up, assemble the adjustment screw assembly into the ram
and tighten it by hand until it bottoms in the ram.
NOTE
Do not tighten the adjustment screw assembly. Just turn it in the assembly until it stops.
12. Reinstall the single revolution limiter bolt in the ram. Make sure that the numbered wire crimp height
adjustment dial lines up properly, with the indicator wedge cut-out pointing to the zero on the numbered
wire crimp disc.
13. If necessary, adjust the dial manually.
a. Loosen the three set screws holding the numbered wire crimp and height adjustment dial to the ram
post.
b. Turn the dial until it indicates a zero reading.
c. Apply Loctite 222 threadlocker to the set screws.
d. Re-tighten the three set screws against the ram post. Turn each setscrew 60-90 degrees after
contacting the center hub.
CAUTION
Do not tighten the set screws more than 90 degrees. Doing so can damage the numbered wire crimp height adjustment dial.
14. Put the ram assembly back into the applicator.
15. Install the applicator in the machine.
16. Make some test crimps. Measure the crimp heights and check them against the crimp height specified
on the applicator parts list.
If the crimp heights are within specified tolerances, the applicator can be placed in service.
If not, repeat this procedure, starting with step 1.
