5.2. Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed to ensure
the quality and reliability of the tool. Though
recommendations call for at least one inspection a
month, the inspection frequency should be based
upon amount of use, working conditions, operator
training and skill, and established company
standards. Inspect the tool as follows:
6. RATCHET INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
Obtain a 0.025 mm [.001 in.]--thick shim that is
suitable for checking the clearance between the
bottoming surfaces of the crimping dies, and proceed
as follows:
Rev D
3. Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing
surfaces with a thin coat of SAE 20 motor oil.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep it in the tool kit
and store in a clean, dry area.
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect
paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that all screws are in place and
secured.
3. Close tool handles until ratchet releases, then
allow them to open freely. If they do not open
quickly and fully, the spring is defective.
4. Inspect the head assembly for worn or broken
components.
NOTE
1. Select a product and wire (maximum size)
appropriate for the dies.
2. Position the product and wire between the
crimping dies, according to Section 4, CRIMPING
PROCEDURE.
3. Squeeze the tool handles together until the
ratchet releases. Hold the tool handles in this
position, maintaining sufficient pressure to keep the
dies closed.
4. Check the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the crimping dies. If the clearance is
0.025 mm [.001 in.] or less, the ratchet is
satisfactory. If the clearance exceeds 0.025 mm
[.001 in.], the ratchet is out of adjustment and must
be adjusted.
i
A die set must be installed in the tool for this
procedure.
