How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 12)
This hand tool is factory preset to 25-45 pounds handle preload. It may be necessary over the life
of the tool to adjust tool handle preload force. Listed below are the steps required to adjust the
crimping force of the hand tool to obtain proper crimp conditions:
1.
Hold the hand tool in the palm
of your hand as shown in
Figure 12. Using your index
finger, squeeze the link toward
the top of the hand tool frame.
This will release the preload
adjustment wheel.
2.
Rotate the setting wheel
counterclockwise (CCW) to
increase handle force. The
numbers will display higher. To
decrease handle force, rotate
the setting wheel clockwise
(CW).
3.
Release the link to lock the
setting wheel in place.
4.
Check the crimp specifications
or conduct a pull test after tool
handle preload force is adjusted.
