HOW TO ADJUST TOOL PRELOAD (SEE FIGURE 8)

This hand tool is factory preset to 210 N (47 pounds) preload. It may be necessary over the life of the

tool to adjust tool handle preload force. Listed below are the steps required to adjust the crimping

force of the hand tool to obtain proper crimp

conditions:

1. Open the tool by squeezing the handles

together until the ratchet mechanism

releases. The hand tool handles will spring

open.

2. Remove the M3 screw and the M3 washer.

3. Lift the setting wheel off the axle. Use a

small flat head screwdriver to turn the

eccentric axle counterclockwise (CCW) to

increase the handle force.

4. To decrease the handle force, turn the

eccentric axle clockwise (CW).

5. Line up the setting wheel matching the flat

side with the flat edge of the axle so the

wheel notch will drop onto the roll pin. The

numbers will display higher.

6. Re-install the M3 washer and M3 screw.

7. Re-crimp a new sample and check the

crimp specifications or conduct a pull test

after tool handle preload force is adjusted.
