DESCRIPTION
Main components of the crimping head are: a yoke which houses the stationary die and retains the terminal
assembly for crimping, a removable latch pin which allows pivoting of the yoke on the pivot pin (typically
required
for splice terminations), a cylinder which contains the head’s hydraulic chamber, a piston (ram) which
holds and controls the moving die, and a quick connect/disconnect coupler (cylinder half) which mates with the
coupler on hose or handle control to release or supply pressure.
DANGER
To avoid injury when using DYNA-CRIMP equipment, observe the following precautions:
DO NOT modify the crimping equipment in any way.
USE ONLY dies, terminals, and wire specified for the head.
DO NOT perform repairs other than those specified in the instructional material supplied with the
equipment.
3.
CRIMPING HEAD INSTALLATION
Each crimping head is shipped with a coating of lubricating oil to prevent rust and corrosion. Wipe the oil off
before installing the crimping head on the power unit. Note that the crimping head is shipped without oil inside
the cylinder. To install crimping head, proceed as follows:
DANGER
Verify that the hydraulic pressure to hose or handle control is released and that power supply is disconnected from electric
power unit, if applicable.
NOTE
If a coupling component for the hose assembly is packaged inside the quick connect/disconnect coupler on the head, it is to
be used to replace the coupling on a hose assembly not equipped with a quick connect/disconnect coupler.
1. Thoroughly clean coupling area of handle control or hose assembly and crimping head (see Figure 1).
2. Remove protective dust caps from both quick connect/disconnect couplers.
3. Hold hose or handle control in vertical position to prevent oil spillage. Attach hose or handle control to
coupling section on head. THREAD PROPERLY AND TIGHTEN SECURELY.
CAUTION
Oil flow must be unobstructed between power unit and crimping head. Verify that all couplers are fully mated and tightened.
NOTE
If crimping head must be removed after being in production, pressure must be released in the hydraulic system before head is
removed.
If using Hydraulic Power Unit 69120-[ ], disconnect power unit from power supply.
If using Hydraulic Hand Pump 314979-1, depress pressure release lever.

DIE INSERTION AND REMOVAL
(FIGURE 3)
DANGER
Use extreme care when operating power unit. DO NOT inadvertently actuate the tool when installing or changing dies.
Personal injury could result.
NOTE
Make sure that matched die set, terminal and wire size are compatible.
With crimping head properly installed, refer to die set instructions, and insert/change die set as follows:
1. Remove latch pin and open yoke on crimping head.
