Setup
Do not use this crimping tool with any hydraulic hoses
or other hydraulic components rated at less than
700 bar (10,000 psi).
Failure to observe this warning will result in severe
injury or death.
Skin injection hazard:
• Do not use fingers or hands to
check for leaks.
• Depressurize hydraulic system
before servicing.
High pressure oil easily punctures
skin causing serious injury, gangrene
or death. If injured seek medical help
immediately to remove oil.
Wear eye protection when using this
tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from flying
debris or hydraulic oil.
Use proper die, connector, and wire combinations.
Mismatched components can result in an incomplete
crimp. Failure to complete a crimp could result in
severe injury, death, or fire if a connection separates
or if it has high electrical resistance.
Inspect tool and dies before use. Replace any worn or
damaged parts. A damaged or improperly assembled
tool could break and strike nearby personnel with suf-
ficient force to cause severe injury or death.
