To gage the crimping chamber, complete the following steps:
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping chamber and plug gages.
2. Close the tool handles until the crimping dies have bottomed. Do
not
force dies beyond initial contact.
3. Align the GO element with the crimping chamber. Gently push the element straight into the crimping
chamber. The GO element must pass completely through the crimping chamber (Figure 9).
