Install the 6" Main Pusher (MPUSH600) by sliding it
onto the rod cam of the ram cylinder. Make sure
that the pusher is all the way on the rod cap.
Install the required die holders ensuring that the
seams between the die holder halves do not line up.
The die holders are designed to fit one inside the
other.
A guideline for selecting die holders is:
50TDH6003 1¼" - 3" I.D. hose
50TDH9004 4" - 6" I.D. hose
Caution! Never use a swaging die as a die holder!
Secure the die holders with tie down bars to prevent
the die holders from slipping out of the die bed
unexpectedly.

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 correct 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
procedure for proper static grounding.
Slide the ferrule all the way onto the hose. Place a
mark on the hose at the end of the ferrule. Move the
ferrule 1/8" from the mark just made towards the
end of the hose. Place a second mark on the hose
at the end of the ferrule.
