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
64003-0800 (RHT-1300) 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.

Caution: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best
quality materials. All vital components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be
free of manufacturing defects for a period of 30 days. Should such a defect occur, we will
repair or exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange will not be applicable
