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.
Continue to jog the cylinder until pressure begins to
register on the gauge. Leave the directional control
lever in the “FORWARD” position. Loosen the bolt
on the tie down bar that is holding the die in place.
Move the tie down bar so that the entire flange on
the pusher will clear. Move any other tie down bars
that may interfere with the pusher. When the pusher
contacts the die release the pressure.
Important! Inspect the position of the stem and
ferrule with the pusher. Make sure the collar (ring)
on the stem is in contact with the ferrule before
proceeding.
Bring the hose with the stem and ferrule through the
die bed. Insert the stem into the pusher so that the
ferrule contacts the pusher. Make sure that there is
sufficient room between the die holders and the end
of the ferrule to comfortably insert the die halves into
the die holders.
