D. Ratchet Inspection
Obtain a 0.025 [.001] shim that is suitable for checking
the clearance between the bottoming surfaces of the
crimping jaws and proceed as follows.
1. Select a terminal and a wire (maximum size) for
the tool you are using (see Figure 2).
2. Position the terminal and wire between the
crimping jaws, according to Section 3, CRIMPING
PROCEDURE (Steps 1 through 5). Holding the wire
in place, squeeze the tool handles together until the
CERTI-CRIMP ratchet releases. Hold the tool
handles in this position, maintaining just enough
pressure to keep the jaws closed.
3. Check the clearance between the bottoming
surfaces of the crimping jaws. If the clearance is
0.025 [.001] or less, the ratchet is satisfactory. If
clearance exceeds 0.025 [.001], the ratchet is out of
adjustment and must be repaired (see Section 6,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR).
If the tool conforms to these inspection procedures,
lubricate it with a THIN coat of any good SAE† 20
motor oil and return it to service.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Customer-replaceable parts are listed in Figure 5.
