3. Operation Of Crimper
Refer to the diagram on the rear page for more information. All reference
will be in parentheses ( ).
• Do not use the crimper on wires with power! Always be
sure the power source is disconnected. Check with a voltmeter, turn
off the main breaker, or disconnect the negative connection on a bat-
tery source before using this tool.
• Do not use the crimper without any dies inserted in the
tool! The piston of the tool can travel too far, and the tool can be
damaged.
• Stop pumping the handles when the dies slightly touch!
Excessive pumping will not make a tighter crimp, and can destroy the
internal working parts and seals.
• Do not expose the tool to corrosive chemicals!
• Do not use this tool as a hammer!
• Select the proper dies for the crimp to be made. For best results, al-
ways use a terminal, lug, or connector that fits good on the wire to be
crimped. The tighter it fits before crimping, the better. Using a con-
nector that is too large or loose will not crimp well.
• Place the selected matching dies into the crimper. They are held in
place magnetically, and can be changed quickly and easily without
any tools.

• Close the valve knob (#11). Position the terminal into the dies, and be
sure the wire is pushed fully into the terminal. Pump the handles until
the dies touch SLIGHTLY, and no more. Open the valve knob, and
the dies will open, releasing the finished crimped wire and terminal.
• When placing the tool back into the case, always be sure the valve
knob is in the “open” position, and all pressure is released on the tool.
This will increase seal life, and prevent leaks.
4. Maintenance & Service
• Keep the tool clean and dry, and wipe the surfaces with oil or antirust
grease to prevent corrosion.
• Disassembly of the tool should be made by an experienced service
technician in a clean, dust-free environment.
• Slight oil leaking during crimping is normal; after making many
crimps, the oil level can drop, and will have to be refilled. Use Shell
Tellus T 15 hydraulic oil or equivalent when refilling the oil.
• To refill the oil, unscrew and remove the oil reservoir pipe or fixed
handle (#9 or #10) from the body of the tool so access to the oil
reservoir screw (#12) can be made. With the head of the tool (#5) in
a downward position, and the handle end up, remove the oil reservoir
screw. Fill the reservoir slowly, and allow time for air to escape dur-
ing filling. Replace oil reservoir plug and screw the handle on body.
Unscrew the fixed handle or oil reservoir The oil reservoir screw (oil plug) is located
pipe from the body of the tool to get ac- here. Be careful not to damage the rubber
cess to the oil reservoir screw or plug. reservoir and pipe. Fill, and replace the oil
plug. Screw the fixed handle back on tool.
