INSTALLING THE DIE
To install the crimp die assembly, complete the following steps.
NOTE
The locator must be installed before you install the die assembly.
1. Find the index pin in the face of the retainer, and the drilled hole in the rear of the die assembly
2. Orient this hole to fit over the index pin in the retainer and press the die assembly in place. The die
assembly must sit flat on the retainer face.
NOTE
Expect to feel some resistance when the four drive arms come into contact with the indenters.
3. Replace the open-ended cover on the housing. Ensure that the open-ended cover O-ring is intact and
in place.
4. Tighten the open-ended cover onto the tool housing until the O-ring contacts the crimp die assembly,
then tighten approximately an additional 15°.
5. When the die set is flush with the face of the retainer, the cover nut can be installed (see Section 2.4).
