Adjusting the feed
The feed stroke (terminal pitch), terminal position, and feed speed adjustments are set at the factory. If
adjustment is necessary, follow the instructions below:
If the pick-up point is the end of the wire barrel, the backstroke over-travel (Figure 16) should
be approximately equal to the distance between the wire barrel and the mating end of the
terminal.
For other types of terminals (for example, ring tongue), over-travel should be about the same,
depending on the terminal features and configurations (for example, stud hole).
Adjusting the feed stroke
1. Remove air pressure from the air feed module.
2. Release terminal drag.
3. Install the terminal strip in the applicator until the feed pawl drops into the backstroke position

4. Engage terminal drag.
5. Manually extend the feed arm.
6. Manually retract the slide until the feed pawl is at the backstroke position for the next terminal.
