7. After shut height is verified, reset the manual precision adjustment lever to the 0.00-mm [.000-in.]
position. Refer to Paragraph 7.3.
7.2. Shut-Height Adjustment
The shut height is pre-set at the factory and should not require further adjustment unless it is necessary to
replace parts. Before you make any changes to the terminating machine, contact a Field Service Specialist, or
call the TOOLING ASSISTANCE CENTER at the number at the bottom of page 1.
!
CAUTION
NEVER attempt to adjust the shut height without FIRST trying an applicator that is known to produce terminations of the
correct crimp height. If this applicator produces correct terminations, the trouble is in the original applicator and the shut
height MUST NOT BE CHANGED.
NOTE
i
The shut height is set to 135.8 +/-0.025 mm [5.348 +/-.001 in.] so that mini applicators do not require re-shimming. When
measuring the shut height with the shut height gage, it will be necessary to set the manual precision adjustment lever to
0.051 mm [0.002 in.] BELOW the 0.00-mm [.000-in.] setting in order to achieve the proper reading. The indicator dial of
the gage should face the operator when the gage is placed in the machine.
If it is determined that the shut height must be adjusted, use the following procedure:
DANGER
STOP
Before making any adjustments, ALWAYS disconnect the power supply to the machine. Turn OFF the power to the
terminating machine with the main power switch/circuit breaker. If applicator is an air-feed type, DISCONNECT air lines to
valve located on the right side of the terminating machine.
