hose dies (DH6-003 and DH9-004 also required).
Secure the Die Holders with the tie down bars supplied.
Accurately measure the hose O.D. with a diameter tape.
Each end of the hose should be measured to guarantee
the correct ferrule and die selection.
Select the proper ferrule and die based upon the hose
free O.D. just measured, from the die chart.
Make sure the hose end is cut square. If the hose is to
be static grounded, follow hose manufacturers proce-
dure for proper static grounding.
Measure the collar thickness of the stem. Slide the
ferrule onto the hose. Place a mark on the hose at the
end of the ferrule. Move the ferrule from the mark
just made towards the end of the hose the distance of
the collar thickness just measured. Place a second
mark on the hose at the end of the ferrule.
Before you begin, make sure the ram is fully re-
tracted, and remove the 25PUSH400 (also referred
to as the pusher hat) from the main pusher plate, if
installed on the ram.
