ATCRBS TRANSPONDER KT 76C
Once the terminal is in the correct position, close the jaws gently until the terminal is held loosely in place. Push the wire
stop down so that it rests snugly behind the contact portion of the terminal.
Strip off 1/8 inch of the wire insulation and insert the wire through the insulation tabs into the conductor tabs until the insu-
lation hits the conductor jaw face or until the conductor touches the wire stop.
Squeeze the handles until the crimp jaws close and the ratchet releases.
Straighten the terminal if necessary, then release the plier grips and remove the crimped terminal.
CRIMPING PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
If too much or too little pressure is needed to release the crimper's ratchet pawl at the end of the crimp stroke, the ratchet
can be easily adjusted. A spanner wrench provided with the tool can be used to loosen the lock nut, and rotate the keyed
stud clockwise for increased pressure and counter-clockwise for decreased pressure. Once the desired pressure has been
set, the lock nut must be tightened again. Newer models may have a screwdriver adjustment.
