2. RECEIVING/INSPECTION
Latch Head Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1901343--[ ] is thoroughly inspected during and after assembly.
Prior to packaging and shipping a final series of tests and inspections is made to ensure proper functioning of
the tool. The following inspection should be performed as a safeguard against potential problems generated in
transit.
1. In a well--lighted area, carefully uncrate the tool and inspect each component as it is removed from
the crate.
2. Thoroughly inspect each component for evidence of damage that may have occurred in transit. If any
of the components are damaged, file a claim against the carrier and notify TE Connectivity immediately.
3. Keep this manual and all drawings and product samples with the tool for the benefit of operation and
maintenance personnel.
The crimp tool should be inspected at regularly scheduled intervals, depending on care, degree of operator
skill, the type and size of product being crimped, and environmental conditions. At a minimum, the tool should
be inspected after every 40 hours of use.
