Replacing the crimper
1. If you are installing new parts, verify that the part numbers match the numbers on the applicator parts
list.
2. Loosen the crimper bolt slightly
3. Remove the ram assembly from applicator by pulling upward. If necessary, move the feed pawl forward
to release the ram assembly.
4. Record the location of parts for reinstallation.
5. Remove the crimper bolt that secures the front shear depressor, front shear depressor spacer, tubular
spacer, insulation crimper, crimper spacer, and wire crimper to the ram assembly.
6. Remove the front shear depressor, front shear depressor spacer, tubular spacer, insulation crimper,
crimper spacer, and wire crimper.
7. Install the new wire crimper.
8. Reinstall the crimper spacer, insulation crimper, tubular spacer, front shear depressor spacer, and front
shear depressor.
NOTE
Crimpers
must
be positioned with the part number facing up.
9. Verify that the upper end of the wire crimper rests against the shoulder of the ram assembly.
10. Tighten the crimper bolt
only
finger-tight.
11. Reinstall the ram assembly in the applicator.
12. Install the applicator in the machine.
13. Lift the feed pawl and pull the terminal strip back until the lead terminal is between the strip guides.
14. Form a piece of heavy paper over the anvil.
15. Slowly hand-cycle the machine while watching alignment of the crimpers with the anvil.
16. When the ram assembly reaches the bottom of the stroke, carefully tighten the crimper bolt to a torque
between 10.8 and 13.6 Nm [8 and 10 ft-lb]. The crimpers must move without interference over the anvil
after the heavy paper is removed.
17. Set the wire disc crimp height reference setting to zero.
18. Incrementally adjust toward the required crimp height.
CAUTION
Setting the crimp height reference setting too high can damage the crimp tooling.
