OPERATION
To install dies, follow the instructions below for your model
of crimping head.
1. If the hydraulic hoses are connected:
• Turn the hydraulic system control valve OFF.
• Disconnect rst the hydraulic input (supply) hose, then
the output (return) hose.
2. Clean the surfaces of the die holder to remove any dirt or
grease.
3. Select the dies for the task:
• If the die load has not been veried, select blank dies
and verify die load.
• If the die load has been veried, select a set of dies to
match the sleeve or connector to be crimped.

Make sure the hydraulic system control valve is in the OFF
position when coupling or uncoupling the hoses. Failure to
do so may result in damage to the quick couplers and cause
overheating of the hydraulic system.
Before installing the hoses, wipe the ttings and the entire
length of the hoses with a clean, dry lint-free cloth to remove
any dirt or moisture. Dirty connections can contaminate the
hydraulic uid, causing rapid wear and early failure of internal
pars.
Check the ow indicators (arrows) stamped on the couplers
to ensure oil ows in the proper direction. The female coupler
on the tool is the inlet coupler.
It is a good practice to connect the output (return) hose rst
and disconnect it last to minimize or avoid trapped pressure
within the tool.
1. Connect the output hose to the OUT or T port on the tool.
2. Connect the input hose to the IN or P port.
3. Be sure all hose connections are tight.
DIE LOAD VERIFICATION
With blank (test) dies installed, use a die load tester to verify
the crimping force in the tool before operating a new crimping
tool, before placing the tool in service after storage or repair
or periodically during normal use
1. Make sure blank (test) dies are installed in the die holder.
If not, follow the Die Installation instructions at the beginning
of this section.
