Instructions FOR COMPOUND-ACTION RATCHETING CRIMPER T1710

Crimps insulated terminals and connectors in 22 to 10 AWG wire sizes to meet or exceed MIL-SPEC
pull-out tests.

Built-in ratchet with safety release assures uniform crimping every time.

Compound lever-action of narrow-span handles helps you put more crimping power into each squeeze.

Special locators help you position terminals quickly for double crimps.

Plastic-handle grips provide extra user comfort.

Crimping Instructions

Close handles past the ratchet release position, and allow jaws to open fully.
Place the insulated terminal or splice in the appropriate color-coded nest per illustrations and chart.
Close the tool until the jaws grip the terminal or splice lightly (without distortion).
Insert the properly stripped wire. Note that the wire must butt against the wire stop button.
Holding the wire in place, close the tool past the ratchet release position, and allow the jaws to open fully.

Maintenance and Inspection
Maintenance and inspection should be performed regularly. Tool should be wiped clean with special emphasis on the crimping cavities. Tool may be cleaned by immersing in a suitable commercial cleaner or solvent that does not attack paint or plastic.

Ratchet Release Adjustment

Apply force as shown until ratchet releases. The force at 1-3/4" from handle ends should be 65 to 70 lbs.

To obtain these values, loosen the eccentric stud with the handles open.
On the opposite side of the tool, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase handle load – or counter-clockwise to decrease the handle load. Tighten the locking eccentric stud. Re-measure force and continue.
