ENGLISH
– Press pin (35) on lower part of adapter, AU230-130D and insert one half of the die set until secured
by locking pin (34).
– Press pin (32) on upper half of adapter, AU230-130D and insert the other half of the die set until
secured by locking pin (33).
Before carrying out further operations make sure the die-stop pin is completely inserted; a partial
insertion may cause damage to the head.
2.3) Dies positioning
– Insert the conductor into the connector.
– Locate the connector between the dies at the desired crimp position.
– Operate the pump until the dies touch the connector barrel.
Make sure that dies are exactly positioned on the area to be crimped; otherwise re-open dies following
instructions § 2.5, and reposition the connector.
2.4) Crimping
Operate the pump to advance the main ram until the die faces touch.
It is recommended to continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a
"click" is heard.
2.5) Dies opening
Fully discharge the oil pressure from the pump, to retract the ram and release the crimped connector.
3. MAINTENANCE
The head is robust and requires very little daily maintenance.
Compliance with the following points should help to maintain the optimum performance of the tool.
3.1) Accurate cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device.
Avoid putting the head on muddy or dusty ground. Any dirt particles may score the ram and create
oil leaks.
Every day, after use, the head must be cleaned with a clean cloth, taking care to remove any residual
particles, especially around the moving parts.
3.2) Replacement of the automatic coupler
To replace the automatic coupler proceed as follows:
– Remove the old coupler.
– Carefully clean the thread to remove the old sealant.
– Apply tefl on tape to the thread.
– Fit the new automatic coupler and tighten to 30 Nm (22 lbf ft).
