7.2 Inspection and Repair

RAM STABILITY

Approximately every six months physically check that the

ram is not loose.

To check the ram, remove the screws from the catch and

open the cover.

Grip the ram firmly and try to move the ram from side to

side. It is also possible to detect whether the ram is loose

by the noise it makes when crimping, and also the

measured crimp height of the terminal may become

unstable.

º Adjustment Procedure

Step 1

Remove the two dome-nuts from the side wall of the

ram.

Step 2

Loosen the three cap head screws on the right hand

side of the adjustable ram guide.

Step 3

Fasten the grub screws on the ram guide finger-tight

so that you can manually move the ram up and down

by hand, but it does not drop under its own weight.

Next, check that the ram does not wobble and that it

moves smoothly.

Make a final check check that the ram is stable and the

screws are secure. Replace cap head screws in ram

cover.
