6. Activate tool to complete the crimp. Open the

jaws by squeezing the adapter rollers together;

then remove the crimped terminal.

7. Inspect terminal in accordance with 114--2123 to

ensure a proper crimp.

A properly crimped terminal will display a crimp

dot code on the flat side of the terminal

insulation. For applicable crimp dot codes, refer

to Figure 2. Flag terminals will not have a crimp

dot code.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

To avoid injury, DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR

SUPPLY before performing any maintenance or

inspection procedures.

It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection

program be performed periodically to ensure

dependable and uniform terminations. The platform

adapter should be inspected once a month.

Frequency of inspection should be adjusted to suit

your requirements, and depends on:

1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the

adapter.

2. The type and size of the products crimped.

3. The degree of operator skill.

4. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and

dirt.

5. Your own established standards.

The platform adapter is thoroughly inspected before

packaging. Since there is the possibility of damage

during shipment, the adapter should be inspected

immediately upon arrival at your facility.

5.1. Maintenance

A. Cleaning

Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with

a clean, soft brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth.

Do NOT use objects that could damage the adapter.

Re--lubricate adapter, as instructed in Paragraph

5.1.B. Lubrication, before placing it back into service.

B. Lubrication

Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces

grease, which is a commercially available lubricant, is

recommended. Lubricate according to the following

schedule:

Adapter used in daily production—lubricate daily

Adapter used daily (occasional)—lubricate weekly

Adapter used weekly—lubricate monthly

Wipe excess grease from adapter, particularly from

die closure areas. Grease transferred from the die

closure area onto certain terminations may affect the

electrical characteristics of an application.

5.2. Periodic Inspection

1. Inspect the adapter for missing pins and

retaining rings. If parts are missing or defective,

replace them by referring to Section 6.

2. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Make sure

the rollers turn freely with minimal resistance.

Replace any worn parts.

3. Inspect the crimping area for flattened, chipped,

or broken areas. Worn or damaged surfaces are

objectionable and will affect the quality of the

crimp.

replaceable. A complete inventory can be stocked
