tions. Improper combinations can result in an
incomplete crimp.
• An audible “pop” indicates that the crimping tool
has achieved a complete crimp. If you do not
hear a “pop,” the crimp is incomplete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.

Crimping Procedure
7. Using the sequence illustrated here, press the
trigger to advance the dies. Continue to crimp until
the pressure relief valve activates.
Note: Pressure relief occurs at approximately
60 kN (6.7 tons) and is indicated by an audible
“pop.”
8. After achieving pressure relief, the ram automatically
returns to the start position and the dies retract.
9. Complete the number of crimps specified by the
connector manufacturer.
10. Remove the connector from the crimping tool.
Note: After completing the last crimp on an aluminum
connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.
