Insertion of End Connection onto Hose
1. Raise the pusher handle approximately 90°.
Note: The handle should not be moved to the fully
back position. This will cause the tool to wear
prematurely.
2. Turn the vise handle counterclockwise to open the jaws
until the hose can pass through freely.
Note: The handle may have a higher initial actuation
torque if it is new or has not been turned for a
period of time.
3. Use the end connection as a gauge and slip the hose
through the jaws until the hose sticks out the length
of the barbs or shell on the end connection plus
approximately an additional 1/2 inch (12.7 mm).
