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.
Slide (or screw) the IX plug, small end first, onto
the pull rod and into the shank of the stem.
Screw the retaining nut on (2” through 3”) until it
contacts the plug. Always assure that the nut is
completely threaded onto the rod. With one hand
move the stem about slightly while tightening the
retaining nut or plug until it is snug. Lubricate the
rest of the plug.
Accurately measure the hose O.D. with a
diameter tape. Select the correct IX ferrule
from the DPL based upon the hose O.D. just
measured.
Lubricate the O.D. of the small half (tapered end)
of the IX plug with Crisco® (recommended) or a
high viscosity oil or heavy duty grease.
