15.Check that the crimping amount (F) of the boot band is at
the standard value.

If the crimping amount is larger than 2.8 mm (0.11
inch)
Readjust the value of (W) in step 12 according to
the following formula, and then repeat the opera-
tion in step 14.
W = 5.8 mm (0.23 inch)
− F
Example: If F = 2.9 mm (0.11 inch), then W = 2.9 mm
(0.11 inch)
If the crimping amount is smaller than 2.4 mm (0.10
inch)
Remove the EBJ boot band, readjust the value of
(W) in step 12 according to the following formula,
and then repeat the operations in steps 13 and 14
using a new EBJ boot band.
W = 5.8 mm (0.23 inch)
− F
Example: If F = 2.3 mm (0.09 inch), then W = 3.5 mm
(0.14 inch)

where it has been installed. If the boot band is sticking out,
