back freely.

6-7 INDENTERS-ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment of indenters should be performed whenever existing indenters are
slightly worn and
"G" dimension is out-of-tolerance, when Crimp Verification (Section
IV) dictates adjustment is neces- sary, and when new indenters have been installed
(Paragraph 6-6).
Perform the following steps to adjust indenters:
Step 1. Open the sleeve valve
Step 2. Disconnect the
air supply from the sleeve valve
Step 3. Remove the crimp cylinder arbor cover plate and the funnel cover plate.
Step 4. Refer to Table 6-1. If the PORTA-TAC Crimper has an operator-adjustable "G"
dimension control, set the control to setting 6 (the largest wire gauge). If the setting is
not adjustable, perform the GO NO-GO tests and adjust to correspond to the largest wire
size.
