COMPRESSION OPERATION
3.5
1. Select the appropriate size dies for the connector being
used.
2. Insert one die half into the C-head by sliding it in while
pulling the Die Release Knob.
3. Press the trigger (Step 3.4) to advance the Ram until the Die
Release Pin is accessible. Then insert the other half of the
die into the Ram while pressing the Die Release Pin.
4. Press the trigger and advance the Ram so the connector is
held lightly between the dies. Do not deform the connector.
5. Insert the conductor into the connector.
6. Press the trigger until the compression is complete. A series
of clicks will be heard followed by a release in the pressure
when compression is complete. The LED indicator (Step
2.1) on either side of the tool will show GREEN when a
complete compression is made. A RED indicator light will
show if the compression is incomplete, due to early release
of the trigger or a low battery. An ORANGE indicator will
show if the battery is getting low, but the compression is still
completed.
7. Press the release button (Step 3.4) to retract the ram. The
ram continues to retract while the release button is pressed.
The ram stops when it is fully retracted.
8. Remove the compressed connector from the tool.

MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
3.6
1. Very little maintenance is required to ensure that the tool is kept in good working condition.
2. To ensure smooth operation and prevent rust, store the tool in a cool dry area. Ensure that moving parts are lubricated regularly.
3. When the plastic housing becomes dirty, clean it with a soft soaped cloth.
4. Dust, sand, and dirt are a danger for 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.
5. If the tool is maintained regularly, it should provide you with trouble free service.
NOTE:
Always remove the battery pack from the unit before replacing parts or maintenance.
