with Dixon lubricant or equivalent.
Insert the end of the fitting into hose. Assemble ferrule
onto stem by sliding turned over portion of ferrule past
notched section of the stem collar. Rotate the ferrule
90° (1/4 turn). With ferrule and stem engaged, continue
installing stem until ferrule reaches the second mark
made on the hose.
Lubricate the outside of the ferrule with Crisco®

grease.
Lubricate the I.D. of die halves with Crisco® (recom-
mended) or a high viscosity oil or heavy duty grease.
Insert the hose with fittings through the bottom of
the ram (between the die holders) to allow enough
room to install the die halves into the die holder.
