DESCRIPTION (Figure 1) The hand tool has a stationary (reservoir) lever and a movable lever. These levers are compressed to pump hydraulic fluid behind the ram, moving it forward and thereby closing the dies. After the crimping is complete, the movable lever is turned to depress the plunger. The moving die retracts to its original position, completing the crimping cycle. 3. DIE SELECTION (Figure 2) 1. Press head latch and open crimping head as shown. 2. Pull back the die latch and turn thumb knob until desired die size appears (embossed wire size appears on side of each die position). Press Head Embossed Latch Here Wire Size Thumb Knob Pull Back Die Latch Then Turn Thumb Knob Figure 2 3. Rotate thumb knob left or right until die latch locks die wheel in desired position. 4. Close head. NOTE In order to close head, die latch must snap into locked position. 4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE 1. Strip wires to dimensions listed in Figure 1. 2. Insert terminal or splice in upper die as shown in Figure 3. 3. Pump movable lever until moving (lower) die grips terminal or splice. CAUTION Do not deform wire barrel of terminal or splice. 4. Insert stripped wire into wire barrel of terminal or splice. 5. Continue pumping moveable lever. A slight click may be heard, indicating the pump has shifted into the high-pressure stage. Continue pumping moveable lever. When dies have bottomed, an audible pop will be heard. This indicates that the crimp is complete. CAUTION Potential damage to the tool may occur if the following Step 6 is not taken. 6. Retract movable die by opening the movable handle to the full open position. Turn the movable handle (to actuate striker), DO NOT TURN THE MOVABLE HANDLE WHILE IN THE CLOSED POSITION AS YOU WILL DAMAGE THE PLUNGER (PRESSURE RELEASE), and compress handles to depress plunger (pressure release). 2 of 8 Rev G
