If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage
inspection, the tool is considered dimensionally
correct, and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of
any good SAE 20 motor oil. If not, the tool must be
returned to TE for further evaluation and repair. Refer
to Section 8, REPLACEMENT.
For additional information regarding the use of a plug
gage, refer to instruction sheet 408--7424.
