CT06 Hydraulic Crimping Tool
Page 16
Tool Relief Valve Adjustment
The relief valve on a universal pressure CT can be adjusted to increase or
decrease the tool’s crimping force. Standard CTs do not have a relief valve.
The crimping tool’s relief valve is located below the trigger guard. The relief
valve on the hydraulic system is totally separate and has a different function.
1. Perform steps 1–5 in Section 4, Die Load Verification.
2. If the load tester indication is within the acceptable range, the tool’s relief
valve is set correctly. If it is not, adjust the valve as follows:
• Turn the hydraulic system control valve
OFF
.
• Remove the plug from the end of the relief valve, below the trigger guard.
• Using a hex wrench, turn the adjusting screw
- clockwise (CW) to increase pressure
- counterclockwise (CCW) to decrease pressure
• Replace the plug in the relief valve and retest. Repeat the adjustment, if
necessary.
