It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection
program be performed periodically to ensure
dependable and uniform terminations. Frequency of
inspection depends on:
The hand tool is inspected before being shipped;
however, it is recommended that the tool be inspected
immediately upon its arrival at your facility to ensure
that the tool has not been damaged during shipment.
Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
with SAE 20 oil as follows:
Wipe excess oil from tool, particularly from crimping
area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical
characteristics of an application.
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or a soft, lint–free cloth. Do
NOT use objects that could damage the tool.
2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a thin coat of any good
SAE 20 oil. Do not oil excessively.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep handles closed
to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the
crimping jaws. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.

This inspection requires the use of micrometer with a
modified anvil as shown in Figure 3.
A recommended Crimp Height Comparator is
RS–1019–5LP, which can be purchased from:
Proceed as follows:
1. Hand tool may be immersed (handles partially
closed) in a reliable commercial degreasing
compound (suitable for plastics) to remove
accumulated dirt, grease and foreign matter.
2. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and
then allow them to open freely. If they do not open
quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must
be replaced. See the Section 5.
3. Inspect head assembly for worn, cracked, or
broken jaws. If damage is evident, return it for
evaluation and repair.
1. Select a contact and a wire (maximum size) for
each crimp section.
2. Refer to the Section 3, and crimp the contact(s).
3. Using a crimp height comparator, measure wire
barrel crimp height as shown in Figure 3. If the
crimp height conforms to that marked on the tool,
the tool is considered dimensionally correct.
