12. Place the R.J. boot band (large) against the projection at the edge of the boot, and then secure it so that there is a clearance left as shown by (D) in
the illustration.
13. Use the special tool to crimp the R.J. boot band (large) in the same way as in step (6).
14. Check that the crimping amount (E) of the R.J. boot band is at the standard value.
Standard value (E): 1.0 - 1.5 mm (0.039 - .059 inch)
<If the crimping amount is larger than 1.5 mm>
Readjust the value of (W) in step (11) according to the following formula, and then repeat the operation in step (13).
W = 3.7 mm (0.146 inch) - E
Example: If E = 1.6 mm (0.063 inch), then W = 2.1 mm (0.083 inch).
<If the crimping amount is smaller than 1.0 mm (0.039 inch)>
Remove the R.J. boot band, readjust the value of (W) in step (11) according to the following formula, and then repeat the
operations in steps (12) and (13) using a new R.J. boot band.
W = 3.7 mm (0.146 inch) - E
Example: If E = 0.9 mm (0.034 inch), then W = 2.8 mm (0.110 inch).
15. Check that the R.J. boot band is not sticking out past the place where it has been installed.
If the R.J. boot band is sticking out, remove it and then repeat the operations in steps (12) to (14) using a new R.J. boot band.
