To complete the swaging process, depress and hold the
“on” switch of the remote control unit (or depress the
foot pedal). Once the ferrule has
entered the die and started to be reduced (approxi-
mately 1/3 of the way), it will
no longer need the
operator to keep it seated into the pusher. Continue the
swage until the pusher meets the die, or until the gauge
reads 10,000 PSI.
Insert the hose fitting assembly through the bottom of
the ram (between the die holders) far enough to allow
room to install the die halves into the die holder. After
installing the die halves, push the hose up into the
pusher until the ferrule comes in contact with the
pusher.
“Jog” the ram by quickly depressing and releasing the
“on” button on the remote control switch,
(or by depressing the foot pedal) until the ferrule
enters the opening of the die. Let the ferrule enter the
die slowly, making sure the end of the ferrule does not
hit the top of the die.
Make sure that the stem and ferrule are held securely
against the pusher until the swaging process has
begun.
Lubricate the I.D. of the die halves with Crisco®
(recommended) or a high viscosity oil or heavy duty
grease.
