Terminal Locator Replacement
This section describes the procedure for changing the locator.
Removal
1. With the tool in the open position, pivot the terminal locator outward.
2. Remove the M4 BHCS. See Figure 5.
Installation
1. Place the locator on the hand tool. Install the M4 BHCS. See Figure 5.
2. Tighten the screw enough to hold the locator. Make sure the locator can still float freely with hand pressure.
3. Insert the proper terminal into the correct profile slot until the terminal is fully seated and stops. Then, gently
pivot the locator closed.
4. With hand pressure, slowly slide the locator to the correct position. See Figure 6.
5. Gently pivot the locator open without disturbing the location.
6. Hold the locator firmly in place, and slowly tighten the M4 BHCS.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of and responsible for the following
maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush or a soft, lint-free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins, pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high-quality machine
oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability, but like any other equipment, it needs
cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight
automotive oil) used at the oil points every 5,000 crimps or 3 months will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When the tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping
dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area.
Miscrimps or Jams
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, Do Not force the handles open or
closed. The tool will open easily by lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 10.
