Remove the assembly from the machine and measure across the flats of the crimped
area. If the measurement does not read 1.000” +/- .003 then the micro adjuster needs
to move until the COD is correct.
MICRO ADJUSTMENT
The micro adjuster is located on the rear of the dial vernier, held in place by a lock nut.
To adjust micro adjuster, insert a 2.5mm hex key in micro adjuster and loosen lock nut
using 8mm Allen Wrench.
Once nut has been loosened, the micro adjuster can be turned to recalibrate the dial
vernier. The table below has recommended rotations depending on the inaccuracy of the
original test crimp.
Once micro adjuster has been modified, tighten lock nut to secure it in place. Crimp
the same hose again and check if dial vernier is now calibrated. Repeat until test crimp
measures 1.000”+/-.003”.
