Slide the applicator onto the quick-change mounting plate
until the two notches on the left side engage against the
stops, and at the same time, guide the lug bolt into the
adapter on the press. See Figure 2-2.

To lock applicator, turn the M5 SHCS counter clockwise until
tight.

Some presses have locking latches on the quick change
mounting plate, which have to be flipped up to secure the
applicator. Others have knurled finger screws or "T" type latches.
Most of these are located on the right side of the quick change
mounting plate to secure the position of the applicator. These
must be in place and secured before operating the press.

Replace the press guards.
Remove the applicator by reversing the previous steps. When storing
an applicator, always leave a strip of terminals in the applicator to
prevent damage to the tooling. See Section 3.5 Storage.
Fitting Terminal Strip
1.
The specified terminals are printed on the setup sheet for the
applicator. Only use the Molex terminals on the setup sheet
which is supplied with the applicator.
2.
Always disconnect the power supply from the press. Remove the machine guards if necessary.
3.
Rotate the drag release until the drag frame is in the upright position. This will allow the terminal to slide with ease through
the applicator track. See Figure 2-3.
4.
Push the terminal strip until the first terminal comes to rest centered above the anvil.
5.
Rotate the drag release to engage the terminal drag frame.
6.
Cycle the press by hand so that the feed finger transfers the next terminal to a centered position over the anvil. Check that
all other parts slide and engage without any interference. It is recommended to go through this procedure several times.
7.
When unloading the terminal strip, make sure the power is turned off and disconnected from the press. Remove the
machine guards if necessary.
8.
Rotate the drag release until the drag frame is in the upright position.
9.
Raise feed finger and pull terminal strip back until disengaged from applicator track. See Figure 2-3. If preferred, cut the
terminal carrier strip and pull it through the applicator with needle nose pliers.
10.
Replace the machine guards before operating the press.
