Testing
Mechanical
The tensile test, or pull test, is a means of evaluating the mechanical properties of the crimped
connections. The following charts show the specifications for various wire sizes. The tensile
strength is shown in pounds and indicates the minimum acceptable force to break or separate the
terminal from the conductor.

OPERATION
Open the tool by first closing the jaws sufficiently for the
ratchet mechanism to release.
Crimping Terminals
1. Slip the ring or spade of the flag terminal under the
locator tab and center the terminal barrel into the
conductor punch of the lower jaw. Make sure the open
side of the barrel is facing down, (See Figure 1).
2. Partially close the tool to hold the terminal in place
(See Figure 2).
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
3. Insert the properly stripped wire into the terminal barrel (See Figure 2 and 3).
4. Now close the handle completely and release. The jaws will open when the tool has fully closed.
5. Remove the crimped terminal. Inspect for proper crimp.

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 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
64003-3000 (RHT-1200) was engineered for
durability, but like any fine piece of equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a
maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. A light oil, such as 30 weight automotive oil
used at the oil points shown in Figure 4, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months will significantly
enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration.
4. When 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 Fig.5).
How To Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 5)
Over the life of the tool, it may be
necessary 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. Remove the screw and plastic cover
washer. Note the setting wheel
position.
2. Lift the setting wheel off the axle. Turn
the eccentric axle with a screwdriver.
3. Turning the eccentric axle counter-
clockwise (CCW) will increase handle
force.
4. Replace the setting wheel to the axle,
aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to the dowel pin.
5. Replace the plastic cover washer and screw.
6. Check the crimp specifications after tool handle preload force is adjusted.

Tool Calibration
A Certificate of Calibration (see last page) was supplied with the tool. To recalibrate this Tool, Pin
Gauge measurements should be taken in each conductor nest and compared to this chart. The tool
should be lubricated prior to recalibration to ensure consistent measurements. Handle preload is
factory set to 25-45 LBS. See How to Adjust Tool Preload (see Figure 5) to recalibrate.
