Installation Instructions
Step 1
By squeezing the back of the jaw, the jaws will open. If you look at the machined profile on the inside of the jaws you will note a slot on each side of the profile.
Step 2
With the jaws open, place the fitting inside the jaws so that the raised section of the plastic sight ring fits into the slot in the jaws.
Step 3
Release the jaws so they fit snugly over the fitting, ensuring that the raised section of the plastic sight ring is still located in the slots in the jaw.
Step 4
Press the switch mechanism until the joint is completed and the piston has retracted back into the body of the tool. Ensure that the tool jaws are fully closed and touch each other prior to tool retraction.
Step 5
Press the back end of the jaws and remove the completed joint.
Step 6
Visually inspect the crimped ring has been adequately pressed as illustrated.
