Select an applicable terminal and proceed as follows:
1. Hold the tool so that the front is facing you.
2. Make sure that the ratchet is released. Squeeze
the tool handles together and allow them to open
fully.
3. Insert the terminal into the locator. Make sure
terminal insulation barrel and wire barrel are facing
tool crimper jaws and tab receptacle is bottomed in
locator. See Figure 3.
4. Hold the terminal in this position and squeeze
the tool handles together until the crimping jaws
close just enough to retain the terminal. Do NOT
deform the insulation barrel or wire barrel.
5. Insert a properly--stripped wire through the
terminal insulation barrel and into the wire barrel.
End of wire must be flush with end of wire barrel.
6. While holding the wire in place, squeeze the tool
handles together until the ratchet releases.
7. Allow the tool handles to open fully and remove
the crimped terminal.
4. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
4.1. Daily Maintenance
Remove all foreign particles with a clean, soft brush
or a clean, soft, lint--free cloth. Make sure the proper
retaining pins are in place and are secured with the
proper retaining rings. If foreign matter cannot be
removed easily, or if the proper replacement parts are
not available, return the tool to your supervisor.
Make sure all pivot points and bearing surfaces are
protected with a thin coat of any good SAE 20 motor
oil. Do NOT oil excessively. When the tool is not in
use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from
becoming lodged between the jaws, and store the tool
in a clean, dry area.
4.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspection should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the tool and/or be supplied to the
supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
Though recommendations call for at least one
inspection a month, the inspection frequency should
be based on the amount of use, ambient working
conditions, operator training and skill, and established
company standards. These inspections should be
performed in the following sequence:
