The Cable Bullet crimper is a modified YYQ-300 16-ton manual
hydraulic crimper equipped with a
custom die set
A
designed
for use with Cable Bullet crimp sleeves and 5/32” diameter cable.
ATTACHING THE CRIMPER STAND
Before getting started, re-
move the
nut
B
from the crimper
pin
C
. Attach the crimper
stand
D
and lock it in place by re-attaching the nut.
USING THE CRIMPER
To engage the crimper, turn the
knob
E
to
the ON position. Begin pumping the movable
handle
F
to advance
the piston and close the die. Continue pumping until the two halves
of the die have securely closed around the crimp. The amount of
effort required will vary. A properly seated crimp will have a distinct
hexagonal imprint
G
. If your finished crimp shows only a faint im-
pression
H
, repeat the process with additional force.
To release the dies, turn the knob to the OFF position.
GOOD CRIMP
BAD CRIMP
IMPORTANT:
Check your first few crimps and adjust your
process as needed. A weak crimp may fail under tension,
compromising your railing. However, excessive pressure
beyond what is required may damage the crimper tool.
PRO TIP:
Place your crimper on a protective surface to avoid
inadvertently damaging softer or finished floors during the
crimping process.
