Tool
Calibration
Once the target tension force is attained, the value on the computer display screen
should be within ±15 lbf of the M28090 readout. Operation of the tool can begin if the
difference between the 2 readings is less than 15 lbf and within specifications (Ford
Engineering Specification of 334 to 368 lbf). These readings must be repeatable. If
the difference between the 2 readings is greater than 15 lbf, the tool needs to be sent
to BAND-IT-IDEX, Inc. for repair. Over a period of time, the 2 readings are likely to
drift apart, but they must remain within 15 lbf.
Once calibration is complete, press the tool reset button to release the force and then
remove the calibration device. Be sure to clean and lubricate the maintenance cover
before reinstalling the cover on the tool and inserting the Quick Release Pins shown
on page 5.
