COMPRESSION
2.4
Operate the pump to advance the ram until the die faces touch.
Continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated.
Refer to the instructions included with pump.
DIE ADVANCEMENT
− Insert the conductor into the connector.
− Make sure the connector is located between the dies at the
desired crimp position.
− Operate the pump to advance the die.
WARNING
Never place the tool under pressure without inserting the
dies, this could cause damage to the head and the ram.
Make sure the dies are exactly positioned on desired crimp point,
otherwise re-open dies following instructions included with the
pump and reposition the connector.
2.3
Connect the tool to the output of the
hydraulic pump via the hydraulic hose.
Make sure all hose connections are
tight. Refer to the instructions included
with the pump for additional information
and proper pump setup, see Figure 1.
− Select the appropriate die set for the connector.
− Insert the die (91) in the upper seat of the tool head until it is
locked by die/head retaining pin (15). To ease the die insertion,
keep die/head release pin (18) depressed.
− Operate pump to advance the ram (200) 8-10 mm (0.3 - 0.4 in.)
and insert the die (90) into the seat on the ram until it is locked
by die/ram retaining pin (12). To ease this operation, keep die/
ram release pin (13) depressed.
− Insert the conductor in the connector.
− Position the connector between the dies and ensure the
correct location of the crimp.
CONNECTING TOOL TO PUMP
PREPARATION
2.1
2.2
Fully discharge the oil pressure from the pump, to retract the
ram and release the crimped connector. Refer to the instructions
included with the pump.
DIE OPENING
2.5
To replace dies proceed as follows: (Refer to Figure 2)
Upper die (91)
− Take the die off its guide by pushing the die/head release pin (18).
− Insert replacement die until secured by the die/head retaining
pin (15).
Lower die (90)
− Take the die off its guide by pushing the die/ram release pin (13).
− Insert replacement die into its guide until secured by the die/ram
retaining pin (12). To facilitate this operation, an advancement of
the ram by 8-10 mm (0.3 - 0.4 in.) is suggested.
