Slide the stem over the pull rod and into the recess of
the adapter plate with the connection side of the stem
facing the Ram. For male stems, insert the hex into
the recess of the thrust plate. For female stems, insert
the first hex into the thrust plate so that it goes all the
way through then insert the second hex into the
recess of the thrust plate.
Note: Do not lubricate! No additional lubricant is
needed. Stems are pre-lubricated from the factory.
Slide (or screw) the IX plug, small end first, onto
the pull rod and into the shank of the stem.
Note: 1” stem is shown.
Screw the retaining nut (if needed) on until it
contacts the plug. With one hand move the stem
about slightly while tightening the nut or plug
until it is snug.
Accurately measure the hose O.D. with a diameter
tape. Select the correct Holedall Petroleum ferrule
from the DPL based upon the hose O.D. just
measured.
IMPORTANT! If the incorrect ferrule is selected,
failures will occur. Each hose end must be accu-
rately measured and a ferrule selected based upon
that measurement.
Make sure the hose end is cut square. Measure and
mark the hose in accordance with the provided
Insertion Dimension chart ( see page 5 ) . This will
ensure that the proper rubber displacement “pocket”
is maintained when proceeding to Step 7.
