Lifting up the hose, insert one die half under the
hose. Lower the hose so that it rests on the die.
Insert the other die half. Make sure that the seams
of the die do not line up with the seams on the die
holders.
While holding the die in place with one hand, place
one of the tie down bars over the die so that it does
not come out of the die holder unexpectedly. Secure
the tie down bar by tightening the bolt.

Move the directional control lever to the “Forward”
position and depress the button on the remote.
Advance the cylinder forward until the end of the
ferrule is near the die opening. Using a wooden
board or metal pipe, lift the ferrule up. Jog the
cylinder by depressing and releasing the button on
the remote. This will allow the ferrule to enter the
die slowly. After the ferrule has entered the die, stop
advancing the cylinder.
Extend all of the jackscrews so that they are
contacting the flange. With a wrench, tighten one
jackscrew one half turn. Moving to the jackscrew
opposite of the one just tightened, tighten it one half
turn. Moving to the jackscrew immediately to the
right of the first one tightened, tighten it one half
turn. Moving to the jackscrew opposite of the one
just tightened, tighten it one half turn. Keep
repeating this process until all jackscrews are evenly
tensioned.
