b. Re-install the ram post adaptor. Insert both screws in the ram post adaptor and place the shims
over the screws and onto the adaptor post.
c. Re-install the socket head cap screws into the ram assembly to secure the ram post adaptor. Re-
tighten the screws.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 as necessary until the proper shut height is attained.
NOTE
The miniature applicator is an integrated assembly consisting of upper tooling, lower tooling, and adjustment capability. The
applicator requires a fixed shut height; that is, the distance between the bottom of the ram and the base mount when the ram
is FULLY bottomed. The required adjustments for crimp height are made by using the wire and insulation discs within the
applicator. Refer to the instruction sheet supplied with the applicator for adjustment procedures.

Crimp Height Adjustment Using Precision Adjustment Mechanism
DANGER
To avoid damaging the applicator, ALWAYS return the precision adjustment lever to the "0" position when finished using the
applicator.
1. Adjust the manual precision adjustment lever to "0" by pulling the lever away from the pivot pin. Lock
the lever in place by releasing it.
2. Install the applicator into the machine as described in Paragraph 4.3.
3. Cycle the machine to crimp three sample terminations. Check the crimp height of the samples. If the
crimp heights are not correct, adjust the crimp height according to Step 4.
4. Adjust the crimp height by moving the precision adjustment lever:
a. to the right to increase the crimp height; or
b. to the left to decrease the crimp height.
NOTE
Moving the precision adjustment lever in either direction will change the crimp height by approximately 0.013 mm [.0005 in.]
per step.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the appropriate crimp height is obtained.
DANGER
To avoid damaging the applicator, ALWAYS return the manual precision adjustment lever to the "0" position when finished
using the applicator.
