IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY

ALERT

SYMBOL

This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards

or unsafe practices which could result in an injury or

property damage. The signal word, dened below,

indicates the severity of the hazard. The message

after the signal word provides information for pre-

venting or avoiding the hazard.

Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result

in severe injury or death.

Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in

severe injury or death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided,

MAY result in injury or property damage.

Read and understand all of the

instructions and safety information

in this manual before operating or

servicing this tool.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

This tool is not insulated. When

using this unit on or near energized

electrical lines, use proper personal

protective equipment.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

An incomplete crimp can cause a re.

• Use proper connector and cable combinations.

Improper combinations can result in an incomplete

crimp.

• The handle load will drop suddenly to indicate a

completed crimp. If the handle load does not drop

suddenly, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.

Inspect tool before use. Replace any worn or

damaged parts. A damaged or improperly

assembled tool can break and strike nearby

personnel.

Failure to observe this warning could result in severe

injury or death.

• This tool is intended for two-handed operation.

Maintain a rm grip on both handles during opera-

tion. Using this tool in any other manner can result

in injury or property damage.

• Do not operate the tool without a connector in

place. Damage to the ram or crimping tool head

can result.

• Do not perform any service or maintenance other

than as described in this manual. Injury or damage

to the tool may result.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in

injury and property damage.

Note: Keep all decals clean and legible, and replace

when necessary.

1. Clean the die seat area.

2. Install the proper size and type of crimping dies.

3. Press the release button on the C-head and slide

one of the die halves into the jaw. Release the

button and slide the die half until the retainer snaps

and locks the die into place.

4. Press the release button on the ram body (located

in the cutout) and slide the other die half in. Release

the button and slide the die half until the retainer

snaps and locks the die into place.

5. Follow the connector manufacturer’s instructions

for appropriate cable strip length and surface

preparation.

6. Insert cable fully into connector and center the

connector between the dies.

7. Using the sequence illustrated here, pump the

handles to advance the dies. Continue to pump until

the pressure relief valve activates.

Note: Pressure relief occurs at approximately

106 kN (12 tons) and is indicated by an audible

“pop”.

8. After achieving pressure relief, the ram automatically

returns to the start position and the dies

retract.

9. When using KC12-type dies, complete the number

of crimps listed on the “Connector Selection” chart

in this manual. For other dies, complete the number

of crimps specied by the manufacturer.

10. Remove the connector from the crimping tool.

11. Press the trigger lock upward to lock the trigger.

Note: After completing the last crimp on an alumi-

num connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.

Periodic Pressure Relief Valve Check

Pinch points:

Keep hands away from closing dies.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

The crimping tool’s relief valve may require occasional

adjustment. To determine whether this adjustment

is necessary, periodically test the crimping tool

with a Greenlee model 35887 Load Cell (purchased

separately).

1. Insert the test dies into the tool (refer to steps 3

and 4 under “Operation” in this manual). Position

the load cell so that the load cell piston is centered

between the two test dies.

2. Pump the lever until crimping tool achieves pres-

sure relief and note the position of the needle when

the pressure relief is achieved. The needle should

indicate the “12T” range. If the needle is outside of

this range, send the crimping tool to an authorized

service center for adjustment.

Note: If some other type of load cell is used, the ratio

between the area of the tool and the area of the load cell

may be different. The appropriate corresponding pres-

sure range depends upon this ratio.
