4. Align the NO--GO element and try to insert it
straight into the same crimping chamber. The
NO--GO element may start entry, but must not
pass completely through the crimping chamber.
If the crimping chambers conforms to the gage
inspection, the tool is considered dimensionally
correct, and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of
any good SAE 20 motor oil. If not, the tool must be
returned for further evaluation and repair. Refer to
Section 6, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
5.5. CERTI- CRIMP Ratchet Inspection
The CERTI--CRIMP ratchet should be checked to
ensure that the ratchet does not release prematurely,
allowing the jaws to open before they have fully
bottomed. Obtain a 0.025 [.001] shim suitable for
checking the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the crimping jaws. Proceed as follows:
1. Select a terminal or splice, and properly stripped
wire with
maximum
wire load (such as wire size 16
AWG and size 22--16 terminal).
2. Position the terminal or splice and wire between
the crimping jaws, as described in Section 3.
3. Hold the wire in place and squeeze the handles
until the CERTI--CRIMP ratchet releases. Hold the
handles in this position, maintaining just enough
tension to keep the jaws closed.
4. Check the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the crimping jaws. If the clearance is
0.025 [.001] or less, the ratchet is satisfactory. If
clearance exceeds 0.025 [.001], the ratchet is out
of adjustment and must be repaired. See Section
6, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
