SECTION 3
Maintenance
Note
Terminator maintenance will increase tool life and produce a consistent, reliable quality crimp. The following
procedure should be followed at the end of each operation.
Steps
1. Power down the press.
2. Remove the press guard.
3. Make sure that the clutch collar is engaged by the clutch actuator.
4. Take a small brush and clean in and around the terminator anvils.
5. Inspect perishable tooling for wear or fracture.
Molex recommends that you maintain a spare tooling kit at your facility.
The Terminator should be free of all carrier strip tabs and plating that may have accumulated during
production.
