3.2. For Pistol Grip Pneumatic Handle Assembly

1. Perform the procedure outlined in Paragraph 3.1,

for Pistol Grip Manual Handle Assembly, Steps 1

through 4.

2. Inspect termination to ensure that conductor is

terminated past the lead-in transition and is

positioned about halfway into the contact slot. See

Figure 2.

3. Inspect termination to ensure that insulation is

2.03 to 2.54 mm [.080-.100 in.] beyond the front

contact beam.

4. If, upon inspection, it is determined that the wire

is not inserted deep enough, increase the air

pressure by 68.95 kPa [10 psi], and repeat the

termination and inspection procedure. Continue in

this manner until either the proper insertion depth is

obtained, or the air pressure is set to 482.6 kPa

[70 psi]. If the proper insertion depth is not reached

at 482.6 kPa [70 psi], return the air pressure to

275.8 kPa [40 psi] and follow the procedure in

Paragraph 3.3, Wire Insertion Depth Adjustment.

If the wire is inserted too deep, refer to the procedure

in Paragraph 3.3, Wire Insertion Depth Adjustment.

3.3. Wire Insertion Depth Adjustment

Use a 9/16-in. socket wrench or box wrench when

turning the adjuster. Do NOT use an open-end

wrench or pliers; both of these tools will deform or

nick the adjuster.

Wire Too Deep in Contact Slot - If the wire is inserted

too deep, remove the head, and turn the adjuster 1/6

revolution CLOCKWISE (see Figure 3). This will

reduce the wire insertion depth by approximately

0.20 mm [.008 in.]. Repeat Steps 3, 4, and 5 or

Section 3, SETUP ADJUSTMENTS AND TEST.

1. Insert connector into left side of head as

indicated.

2. Align contact to be terminated with wire inserter.

3. Make sure index pawl rests between connector

index ribs.

4. Insert an unstripped wire into the funnel area

between contact and wire inserter until it bottoms on

tool base.
