TOOL OPERATION
(continued)
3. Connect the coupling of the tool head onto the coupling of the hydraulic hose.
4. Refer to the operation manual provided with your particular hydraulic pump system for the specific set-up operation,
and maintenance of the hydraulic pump. Verify that the open areas between the ram and tool head are free of foreign
matter and debris that could jam or damage the tool during operation. Cycle the tool head 2 or 3 times by activating
the hydraulic pump. Be sure dies are in the tool head prior to cycling the tool. Check for leaks at all connections.
5. Carefully place the connector between the dies so that the dies will crimp between the color bands on the connector.
Activate the pump to advance the ram until the connector is held by the dies.
CAUTION:
DO NOT crimp the connector at this time.
6. Verify that the conductor size and dies properly match the connector size being used. Insert the conductor complete-
ly into the connector barrel.
7. Begin crimping by activating the hydraulic system. The
PANDUIT
CT-901HP and CT-8250HP Hydraulic Pumps incor-
porate a by-pass valve which, when activated, shuts off the pump when the crimp is completed.
8. Deactivate the hydraulic system to retract the ram for removal or repositioning of the connector/conductor assembly.
MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1. Daily maintenance is important to keep the tool in good working condition. Keep the head clean and free of debris.
Excessive dirt and grit can contribute to the premature wear of the tool's mechanical parts. Always replace the dust
cap on the connector fitting, and store the tool in its clean, dry carrying case when not in use.
2. Particular attention should be made in keeping the tool head openings free of foreign matter and debris. When using
the tool regularly, check that no foreign matter or debris exists in the open areas between the ram and tool head.
Thoroughly clean and lubricate the tool head. A tool that is dirty with excessive foreign matter may jam and become
damaged during operation.
3. The hydraulic system has been calibrated and sealed at the factory. Consult our Tool Service Department if hydraulic
problems are experienced.
4. As long as the daily maintenance procedures are adequately carried out, the tool will provide quality service for years.
However, if problems are experienced, please contact our Tool Service Department at (888) 506-5400, ext. 3255.
INSPECTION OF COMPRESSION FORCE
Inspect the compression force of the crimp head monthly, whenever possible damage has occurred, or as often as oper-
ating conditions warrant.
