– Insert the upper part (39) of the adapter
AU520-130C
into the head and lock it, inserting com-
pletely the die stop pin (04) through the adapter.
– Insert one half of the die set (36) in the upper part (35) of adapter until secured.
– Insert the other half of the die (36) in the lower part (39) of adapter until secured.
– To release the dies, slide them out.
Before carrying out further operations, make sure the die locating pin (04) is completely inserted; a
partial insertion may cause damage to the head.
2.3) Die positioning
– Insert the conductor into the connector.
– Locate the connector between the dies at the desired crimp position.
– Operate the pump until the dies touch the connector barrel.
Make sure that dies are exactly positioned at the point to be crimped; otherwise re-open dies fol-
lowing instructions § 2.5, and reposition the connector.
2.4) Crimping
Operate the pump to advance the ram until the die faces touch.
It is recommended to continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a
“click” is heard.
2.5) Die opening
Fully discharge the oil pressure from the pump to retract the ram (03) and release the crimped
connector.
3. MAINTENANCE
The oil pressure in the head must be totaly released before disconnecting the hose from the head.
The head is robust and requires very little daily maintenance.
Compliance with the following points should help to maintain the optimum performance of the tool.
3.1) Accurate cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device.
Avoid putting the head on muddy or dusty ground as dirt particles may score the ram and create
oil leaks.
Every day, after use, the head must be wiped with a clean cloth, taking care to remove any residue,
especially around moving parts.
