9. Squeeze the handles of the crimp tool fully together, until the ratchet releases. The handle will return to the

open position. Remove the crimped contact and wire. Crimp joints should be checked for:

a) Correct combination of cable, tool setting and crimp termination.

b) Correct form of indents and location of crimp.

c) Freedom of fracture, rough edges and ﬂash.

d) Adequate insertion of all conductor strands in the crimp barrel.

e) Absence of damage to the conductor or the insulation.

Assembly Procedure

Contacts are assembled to housings using the Assembly Tool Z125-902. See Instruction Sheet IS-38 for details on

assembly.

Care of Tool

There is virtually no maintenance required for the Z125-900 tool. However, it is good practice to keep the indenter tips

free of debris. A small wire brush may be used for this purpose.

We strongly recommend that you:

 DO NOT immerse tools in any cleaning solution.

 DO NOT spray oil into tool to lubricate.

 DO NOT attempt to disassemble tool or make repairs.

This is a precision crimp tool and should be handled as such.

Crimping Procedure (cont’d)

7. Apply light pressure to the wire in the direction shown by arrow (See Figure G).

Slowly release pressure on the plunger and allow it to return to it’s default position

as shown.

8. Caution: Failure to allow contact positioner plunger to return to its default

position may result in indentor damage during crimping. If plunger is not fully

home, the indentors could crimp plunger and damage both the Z125-900 hand

tool and Z125-901 contact crimp positioner (See Figure H).
