DANGER
DO NOT allow the hydraulic hose to contact corrosive materials such as creosote-impregnated objects and some paints.
Consult TE before painting a hose. NEVER paint the quick-disconnect couplers. Hose deterioration due to corrosive materials
can result in personal injury.
DANGER
DO NOT use the hydraulic hose to move attached accessories. Stress can damage the hose, causing personal injury.
5.2.
Crimping
To crimp a terminal or splice, proceed as follows:
1. Plug the power cord of the pump into a properly grounded outlet. Refer to Table 2 for power source
requirements.
DANGER
NEVER use an ungrounded power supply for the pump.
DANGER
Stay clear of the crimping dies during the crimping process.
2. Strip the wires according to the instructions included with the crimping head or die assembly.
3. Depress the RESET switch. The pilot lamp on the pump illuminates (69120-1 only).
4. Depress the RUN switch momentarily to partially extend the cylinder of the crimping head. The dies
partially close. (The switches are marked on the handle control and on the foot control.)
5. Place the terminal or splice in the dies according to the instructions included with the crimping head or
die assembly.
6. Depress the RUN switch again to close the dies just enough to hold the terminal or splice in place. Then
release the switch. The dies remain partially closed only long enough for the wires to be inserted into
the wire barrel of the terminal or splice.
CAUTION
If the RUN switch is depressed too long, the dies close fully and crush the terminal or splice before the wires can be inserted.
7. If the dies fully close before the wires are inserted, depress the DUMP switch. The dies return to a
neutral position (partially open) without completing a cycle.
8. Insert the stripped wires into the wire barrel of the terminal or splice.
NOTE
If possible, insert the wires into both ends of a splice for the first crimp. If the first crimp is made with only the first wire
inserted, the wire for the second crimp may be more difficult to insert due to partial deformation of the wire barrel. Wire with
rectangular conductors should be oriented so that the crimping pressure is applied to the flat side of the conductors.
9. Depress the RUN switch until a cycle completes. Fully extend (dies close) and retract (dies open) the
cylinder.
10. Remove the crimped terminal or splice from the dies. Note that the trigger or pedal may be depressed,
but the pump does not start. Before the next crimp can be made, the RESET switch must be depressed.
