1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers application and

maintenance procedures for Crimping Head

1752788--1 shown in Figure 1. The crimping head

accepts interchangeable die sets for a variety of

heavy--duty terminals and splices for large wire sizes

— within the range of 250 MCM through 600 MCM

(thousand circular mils). Refer to instructions

packaged with specific die sets for compatible

products, wire ranges, strip dimensions, and

application procedures.

The crimping head is designed and recommended

only for use with Foot Hydraulic Pump 1583659--1,

Hand Hydraulic Pump 1583661--1, Electric Hydraulic

Pump 1583660--1 (115 Vac), or 1583660--2 (230 Vac).

Read these instructions, and all applicable

references, before using the crimping head.

Dimensions on this sheet are in millimeters [with

inches in brackets]. Figures and illustrations are

for reference only and are not drawn to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are

provided in Section 8, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

Main components of the crimping head are: a yoke

which houses the stationary die and retains the

terminal assembly for crimping, a removable latch pin

which allows pivoting of the yoke on the pivot pin

(typically required for splice terminations), a cylinder

which contains the head’s hydraulic chamber, a piston

(ram) which holds and controls the moving die, and a

quick connect/disconnect coupler which mates with

the coupler on the hose to release or supply pressure.

To avoid injury when using hydraulic crimping

equipment, observe the following precautions:

-- Do NOT modify the crimping equipment in any

way.

-- Use only dies, terminals, and wire specified for

the head.

-- Do NOT perform repairs other than those

specified in the instructional material supplied

with the equipment.

3. INSTALLATION

Each crimping head is shipped with a coating of

lubricating oil to prevent rust and corrosion. Wipe the

oil off before installing the crimping head on the power

unit. Note that the crimping head is shipped without

oil inside the cylinder. To install crimping head,

proceed as follows:

Make sure that hydraulic pressure to the hose is

released and that power supply is disconnected

to electric power unit, if applicable.

1. Remove protective dust caps from both quick

connect/disconnect couplers.

2. Hold hose vertically to prevent oil spillage.

Attach hose to coupling section on head. Thread

properly and tighten securely.

Oil flow must be unobstructed between power

unit and crimping head. Make sure that all

couplers are fully mated and tightened.
