9.
Attach the reel holder bracket to the mounting bracket on the left side of the
press and place a reel of taped parts on the hub shaft.
(CAUTION: Make sure
the barrel of the part is facing the operator, sprocket holes in tape are away from
the operator. Check for compatibility of the part with the crimp tooling.)
10. Remove the first two terminals from the lead on the tape and place the tape
on the sprocket wheel. You will have to pivot the top tape retainer guide out
of the way first. To do this, press the rectangular red button and lift the
extending arm of the tape retainer. Having the tape holes engaged in the
sprocket wheel, bring the tape retainer guide back down, until the red
rectangular button snaps out and holds the retainer in place.
11. Pivot the lexan guard back up into place and secure the retaining nuts.
12. Manually cycle the press until a terminal rests on the lower crimp die.
13. Turn power on, and cycle press with switch control. NOTE: Tape lead should
discharge out the right side of guard.
14. Proceed to crimp wire leads by inserting the wire through guard and into
terminal barrel. Then cycle press and pull terminal off tape at the end of each
cycle.
