Caution
Do not crimp hardened objects as damage can occur to the tool or die. Anderson crimp specications are valid only when used with Anderson terminals and
tooling. The user of the tool is responsible for determining if the crimps produced meet the quality requirements of the application.
Foot Valve Operation
Attach foot valve between air supply and tool air inlet. Depress hand valve and lock in down position with set screw (A) using 1/16 hex Allen® wrench.
Checking the full cycle ratcheting mechanism
The ratcheting mechanism can be checked for proper functioning by the following procedure.
1. Adjust the air line pressure to 15 p.s.i.
2. Using a size #20 AWG contact with a size #20 AWG wire, operate the tool until the indenters stop. The indenters will not reach the fully closed position and the contact
will be locked in if the ratcheting mechanism is functioning properly.
3. To release the partially crimped contact, increase the air line pressure to 80-120 p.s.i. and operate. The tool will then complete the crimp allowing the indenters
to return to the fully open position.
Releasing a partially crimped contact
To release a partially crimped contact, proceed as follows:
1. Increase the air pressure to 120 p.s.i. and operate the unit. If increasing the air pressure does not release the contact, proceed to step 2.
2. Turn the selector knob clockwise to the highest lockable setting. Selector knob must be in the locked position before proceeding. Cycle the unit.
3. If release has not been achieved after several attempts, contact the manufacturer to avoid damaging the tool.
Care of Tool
There is virtually no maintenance required. However, it is a good practice to keep indenter tips free of residual color band deposits and other debris. A small wire
brush may be used for this purpose.
We strongly recommend that you:
• DO NOT immerse tools in cleaning solution.
• DO NOT spray oil into tool to lubricate.
• DO NOT attempt to disassemble tool or make repairs.
This is a precision crimping tool and should be handled as such. Contact manufacturer for repair and calibration services.
