SAFETY

ALERT

SYMBOL

Skin injection hazard:

Oil under pressure easily punctures

skin causing serious injury, gangrene

or death. If you are injured by

escaping oil, seek medical attention

immediately.

• Do not use hands to check for

leaks.

• Depressurize the hydraulic system

before servicing.

Wear eye protection when operating

or servicing this tool.

Failure to wear eye protection can

result in serious eye injury from

flying debris or hydraulic oil.

Read and understand all of the

instructions and safety information

in this manual before operating or

servicing this tool.

Failure to observe this warning can

result in severe injury or death.

Do not use solvents or flammable

liquids to clean the crimping tool.

ignite and cause serious injury or

property damage.

An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.

• Use proper connector and cable combinations.

Improper combinations can result in an incom-

plete crimp.

• The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed

crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief

valve, the crimp is not complete.

Periodic Pressure Relief Valve Check

Test the crimping tool periodically to ensure that the

pressure relief valve activates at the proper pressure.

Testing the Crimping Tool

1. Center a test slug between the nibs.

2. Pull the trigger to advance the nibs. Hold the trigger

down until the pressure relief valve activates.

3. After achieving pressure relief, the ram will auto-

matically return to the start position and the nibs will

retract.

4. Evaluate the test slug as follows:

•If the test slug does not fit into GO slot, the

pressure relief valve is set too high. Send the

crimping tool to an authorized Greenlee service

center.

•If the test slug fits into the GO slot, the pressure

relief valve is set correctly.

•If the test slug fits into the NO GO slot, the

pressure relief valve is set too low. Send the

crimping tool to an authorized Greenlee service

center.

Crimping

1. Insert cable fully into connector. Center the connec-

tor between the nibs.

2. Pull the trigger to advance the nibs. Hold the trigger

down until the pressure relief valve activates.

Note: Pressure relief occurs at approximately 690

Bar (10,000 psi) and is indicated by an

audible “pop.”

3. After achieving pressure relief, the ram will auto-

matically return to the start position and the nibs

will retract.

4. Complete the number of crimps specified by the

connector manufacturer.

Small connectors may become

wedged between the nibs of the

tool. Center the connector

between the four nibs before

crimping.

Failure to observe this precaution

can cause property damage.

Maintenance

Do not use solvents or flammable

liquids to clean the crimping tool.

Solvents or flammable liquids could

ignite and cause serious injury or

property damage.

1. Inspect nibs for wear or damage such as cracks,

gouges or chips.

2. Inspect the crimping tool for damage or leaks. Have

a damaged or leaking crimping tool repaired at an

authorized Greenlee service center.

After Each Use

1. Wipe all tool surfaces clean with a damp cloth and

mild detergent.

2. Fully retract and lock the trigger. Place the crimping

tool in the carrying case. Store in a cool, dry place.

3. Charge the battery.

Monthly

1. Thoroughly clean all surfaces.

2. Check the oil level.

3. Oil the bolt joints.

Annually or Every 10,000 Crimps

1. Change the hydraulic oil.

2. Return the tool to an authorized Greenlee service

center for inspection.

Checking the Oil Level

1. Remove the two screws (215) that retain the tank

housing cover.

2. Remove the tank housing cover.

3. Point the cutting head downward and remove the oil

plug (16). Add oil if necessary.

4. Replace the oil plug and the tank housing cover.

Secure with screws.
