6. Install the adapter jaw into the pressing tool and
align mounting hole in jaw with pin. Depress the pin
to secure the adapter jaw (see views below).
7. Compress the ends of the adapter jaw together to
open the jaws and install the adapter jaw into the
pressing chain (see view below).
8. Reinstall the battery on the tool.
9. Depress the tool trigger to press the fitting.
Continue to depress the trigger until the relief valve
actuates and the drive rollers automatically retract.
Notes:
If the drive rollers do not automatically retract, the
press is incomplete.
The pressing cycle can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
It is normal for the battery load display to light at both
the beginning and near the end of the pressing cycle.
10. Release the trigger until the drive rollers retract
completely.
11. Compress the adapter jaw ends together to open
the jaws and remove the adapter jaw from the
pressing chain (below).
12. Disengage the release pin on the pressing chain and
remove the pressing chain from the pressed fitting.
Notes:
The pressing jaws must close completely to
ensure
a leak-free connection
. Always check that jaws
close completely during a pressing cycle and no
foreign objects are between the pressing jaws and
mechanism.
The pressing cycle can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
If the pressing cycle must be stopped before the
crimp is complete, and the jaws or chains have to
be removed from the fitting, or the adapter jaw has
to be removed from the chain, the fitting should be
replaced or pressed a second time.
This tool is intended to press NIBCO press fittings
onto type K, L, and M hard drawn copper tubing.
