CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION
Proceed as follows:
1. Refer to Section 4, CRIMPING PROCEDURE, and crimp the contact(s) accordingly.
2. Measure the wire barrel crimp height listed in Figure 7. If the crimp height conforms to that shown in
the table, the tool is considered dimensionally correct. If not, the tool must be adjusted. Refer to
Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT.

CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Although the ratchet is preset prior to shipment, it is important to verify the crimp height using a micrometer or
caliper. General use and subsequent wear may cause the tool to go out of adjustment. It is recommended that
crimp height be inspected, and the ratchet be adjusted, if necessary, on a regular basis. Refer to Figure 8, and
proceed as follows:
Figure 8
1. If the crimp height is larger than recommended, remove the ratchet wheel adjustment screw and
rotate the adjustment wheel counterclockwise (+) to a higher setting. Reinstall the screw. Repeat as
required.
2. If the crimp height is smaller than recommended, remove the ratchet wheel adjustment screw and
rotate the adjustment wheel clockwise (-) to a lower setting. Reinstall the screw. Repeat as required.
3. If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the recommended crimp height, the tool or die set must be
replaced. See Section 9, REPLACEMENT.
