head and latch are fully engaged.
4. For a cUL or UL classified crimp, complete the
number of crimps specified under “Connector
Table” in this manual.
5. For a single crimp, position the connector so the
crimp will be located at the center of the barrel.
For a double crimp, position the connector so two
crimps will be evenly spaced between the connec-
tor marks.
6. Activate the hydraulic power source until the ram
has advanced and the crimp is completed.
Note: To ensure a complete crimp, verify that the
power source has reached 10,000 psi (700 bar).
Refer to the “Periodic Relief Valve Check” in this
manual.
7. Stop the power source and allow the ram to retract.
8. Lift the latch to open the crimping head and remove
the connector.
Note: After completing the last crimp on an aluminum
connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.

Improper combinations can result in an incomplete
crimp.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
