When specified to loosen the two base mount retaining cap screws in the following procedure, ALWAYS remove any
CAUTION
clearance between the adjustment block and the base mount by turning the adjusting screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE, as
viewed from left side of the machine.
!
If the crimp height of the terminal is KNOWN to be GREATER than the specified crimp height, omit Steps 1 and 2;
NOTE
otherwise perform ALL steps.

1. Loosen the two base mount retaining cap screws, and lower the base mount to lowest position by rotating
the adjusting screw clockwise, as viewed from left side.
2. After base mount has been lowered, tighten the base mount screws to secure it to frame.
3. Insert a wire of the proper gage into the lead terminal, and hand-cycle the machine through one complete
cycle.
4. Check crimp height of termination (for the method of measurement, refer to 408-7424. If crimp height is
greater than specified for the type terminal and wire size being used (refer to the data plate on applicator or to
the applicator parts list), continue with Step 5. If correct, continue with Step 6.
5. Loosen the two base mount retaining cap screws, then raise base mount by turning the adjusting screw
counterclockwise, as viewed from left side, one-quarter turn. This will raise the base mount approximately
0.41 mm [.016 in.]. Tighten the base mount screws, and repeat Steps 3 and 4.
6. After producing terminations of the correct crimp height by hand-cycling machine, produce terminations
under power to ensure crimp height is correct. If not, make further adjustment by repeating Steps 3 and 4.

7.2. Feed Connecting Rod Adjustment

Adjustment of the feed connecting rod is not critical, and should never require adjustment unless it is necessary
to replace parts between the feed actuating arm and toggle lever. Adjustment is made by means of the adjusting
locknuts under the feed actuating block. When properly adjusted, three threads of the feed connecting rod are
exposed below the tightened locknuts.

7.3. Feed Mechanism Damper Screw and Rear Stop Screw Adjustments

Although the damper screw and rear stop screw are supplied with the basic machine, they are used only with the
mechanical feed arm assembly (which is available as an accessory). When the feed arm assembly is not
installed, both screws are turned all the way in and secured with their jam nuts.
Should adjustment be required, see Paragraph 10.1.
