OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1
WARNING
Pinch point hazard. Compression Dies at high
force can cause severe personal injury. Keep
all body parts away from moving parts of the
tool during operation.
1. Retract the Ram fully by pressing the release (2.1).
2. Open the tool head by lifting the Latch (Figure 1).
3. Select the appropriate size dies for the connector being used.
4. Loosen the two Die Retaining Screws. Insert one die half into the C-head
and then insert the other half of the die into the Ram (Figure 2). Tighten the Die Retaining Screws.
5. Close by lifting the C-Head until it is securely engaged to the Latch (Figure 3).
6. Place connector between the dies. Operate pump handle and advance the Ram (2.1) so the connector is held lightly
between the dies. Do not deform the connector.
7. Insert the conductor into the connector.
8. Continue operating pump handle until the compression is complete. The tool has a built in bypass cartridge which
automatically activates when full pressure is reached. There will be a noticeable decrease in handle force at full pressure
indicating a complete compression.
9. Press the release (2.1) to retract the ram. The ram continues to retract while the release button is pressed. The ram stops
when it is fully retracted.
10. Remove the compressed connector from the tool.
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
3.2
1. To ensure smooth operation and prevent rust, store the tool in a cool dry area. Ensure that moving parts are lubricated
regularly.
2. When the plastic housing becomes dirty, clean it with a soft soaped cloth.
3. Dust, sand, and dirt impact the operation, performance and durability of any hydraulic device. After each use, the tool should
be wiped with a clean cloth taking care to remove any residue, especially close to the movable parts.
