The applicator assembly is a pneumatically operated

hand--held unit designed to operate with 517 to

655 kPa [75 tp 95 psi] air pressure. The applicator

assembly features a cylinder with a handle capable of

pivoting 360, two safety latches, insertion tooling, an

insertion--depth adjustment, and two guidelines which

automatically engage the applicator assembly to the

connector--holding fixture.

After the connector--fixture holding fixture is mounted

to the harness board, the applicator assembly is

placed onto the fixture, then actuated to complete the

termination.

A filter and moisture separator, regulator, and

lubricator must be used with these tooling assemblies

to ensure dependable performance and long life. It is

recommended that quick--disconnect fittings are used

to connect the tool to the air supply. If not using

quick--disconnect fittings, provide a pneumatic

lock--out on the air line that bleeds air after it is turned

off. These items are customer supplied.

It is strongly recommended that these items be

installed at each tool station in the order shown in

Figure 2. Mount the items as close as possible to the

tooling assembly, preferably where the tool hose is

connected to the air system. Be sure the items are

checked after every 40 hours of use by the tool

operator or maintenance personnel.

Figure 2 lists the suggested manufacturers and

benefits of using this equipment.

4. OPERATING PROCEDURE

Mount the connector--holding fixture, and install

connector and lace wires in the fixture according to

Instruction Sheets 408--7994 (MTA .100) or 408--7995

(MTA .156). Then proceed as follows:

1. Attach air supply to applicator assembly and

adjust air pressure (517 to 655 kPa [75 to 95 psi]).
