3. Center terminal or splice in the nest as shown in Figure 3. For best results, when brazed seam on

terminal or splice is visible, position seam toward indenter.

Figure 3

4. Holding the terminal or splice in place, pivot the latch arm and yoke toward each other until the locking

flange secures the latch arm to the yoke.

CAUTION

Always make sure the yoke and latching arm are secured by the locking flange before cycling the tool.

5. Activate the tool so the ram advances and holds terminal or splice in place.

CAUTION

DO NOT deform terminal or splice wire barrel.

6. Insert stripped wire into:

 terminal or parallel splice until end of conductor is flush with or extended slightly beyond end of

wire barrel.

 butt splice until end of conductor butts against splice wire stop.

7. Activate the tool to complete the crimp.

NOTE

If the terminal or splice sticks in the die after crimping, grasp the wire close to the crimp and apply a

rocking motion to free it.

8. Pivot the latch arm away from the yoke to open the head.

9. Remove the crimped terminal or splice from the tool.

10. For butt splice, repeat steps 2 thru 9 for other wire barrel.

11. Refer to paragraph 5.1. for standard terminal, butt and parallel splice inspection procedure.

5. INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE

DANGER

Remove battery from tool before performing maintenance, adjustments, inspections and repairs.

Each die assembly is inspected before shipment. It is recommended that the die assembly be inspected

immediately upon arrival at your facility to ensure that it conforms to the gage dimensions provided in Figure 7

and that it has not been damaged during shipment.

5.1. Crimp Inspection (Figure 4)

NOTE

The accompanying procedure is included as an aid to the local operator ONLY. It is not intended to

serve as a quality control procedure for qualifying finished crimps on SOLISTRAND terminals or

splices.

Inspect crimped terminals or splices by checking the features described in Figure 4. USE ONLY terminals or

splices that meet the conditions shown in the ACCEPT column. Terminals and splices displaying the features

shown in the REJECT column can be avoided by careful use of these instructions and by performing the

maintenance and inspection procedures described in paragraphs 5.2. and 5.3.

5.2. Daily Maintenance

It is recommended that each operator of the dies be made aware of, and responsible for, the following steps of

daily maintenance:

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants from the dies with a clean brush, or a clean, soft, lint–

free cloth. DO NOT use objects that could damage the dies.

2. If dies are coated with oil or preservative, wipe clean – particularly in the crimping areas – before

placing them in use.

3. When dies are not in use, make certain all surfaces are protected with a THIN coat of any good SAE

No. 20 motor oil, and mate and store them in a clean, dry area.

5.3. Periodic Inspection

Regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections

should remain with the dies or be made available to supervisory personnel responsible for the dies. Though

recommendations call for at least a monthly inspection, the inspection frequency should be based upon the

amount of use, working conditions, operator training and skill, and established company standards. These

inspections should be performed in the following sequence:

Visual Inspection (Figure 5)

1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by immersing the dies in a suitable degreaser that will not

affect paint or plastic material.

2. Check all surfaces for wear. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped, cracked, worn, or broken

areas. See Figure 5. If damage is evident, the die must be replaced.
