5. CRIMP INSPECTION
Inspect crimped terminals and splices by checking the features described in Figure 9. Use only the terminals
and splices that meet the conditions shown in the “ACCEPT” column.
6. MAINTENANCE / INSPECTION
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS release hydraulic pressure to hose or control and disconnect power unit from power supply
before performing maintenance or inspection procedure.
Each crimping die is thoroughly inspected before packaging. Since there is a possibility of damage during
shipment, the crimping die should be inspected immediately upon arrival at your facility.
Regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies and/or be supplied to supervisory personnel responsible for the dies. Though
recommendations call for at least one inspection a month, the inspection frequency should be based on the
amount of use, ambient working conditions, operator training and skill, and established company standards.
CAUTION
Regular inspections should include checking torque setting of (4) screws in accordance with Figure 8.

6.1. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the dies be made aware of-and responsible for-the following steps of
daily maintenance:
1. Remove dust, dirt, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. Do NOT use
objects that could damage the dies.
2. Make certain the dies are protected with a THIN coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. Do not oil
excessively.
3. When the dies are not in use, mate them and store in a clean, dry area.
6.2. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by immersing the dies in a suitable commercial
degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic material.
2. Make sure all die components are in place. If replacements are necessary, refer to the replacement
parts listed in Figure 12.
3. Check components for wear. Remove and replace worn components.
4. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped, cracked, worn, or broken areas. If damage is evident,
the dies must be repaired before returning them to service (see Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR).
6.3. Gaging the Crimping Chamber
The die closure inspection is accomplished using plug gages. A suggested gage design and the GO and NO-
GO diameters of the plug gage elements are shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10

408-1729
Rev K
10 of 11
The following procedure is recommended for inspecting the die closures:
1. Mate the dies until it is evident that they have bottomed. Hold the dies in this position.
2. Align the GO element with the crimping chamber. Push element straight into the crimping chamber
without using force. The GO element must pass completely through the crimping chamber as shown
in Figure 11.
3. Align the NO-GO element and try to insert it straight into the crimping chamber. The NO-GO element
may start entry but must not pass completely through as shown in Figure 11.
If the crimping chamber conforms to the gage inspection, the crimping die is considered dimensionally correct
and should be lubricated with a THIN coat of SAE 20 motor oil.
If the crimping chamber DOES NOT conform to the gage inspection not, the dies must be repaired before
returning them to service (see Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR).
For additional information concerning the use of a plug gage, refer to Instruction Sheet 408-7424.
