100 Ton Ram Instruction Manual
Lubricate the I.D. of the hose and the O.D. of the
stem (as well as possible) with Dixon Coupling
Lubricant or equivalent. Insert the stem all the way
until the mark on the hose (
from Step 4a) is at the
end of the ferrule.
Bring the hose with the stem and ferrule through the
die bed. Position the wing nut (or spud) as close to
the pusher as possible. 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.
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:
DH6-003 1/4" - 1" I.D. hose
M012-001 1-1/4" - 3" I.D. hose
M012-002 4" - 6" I.D. hose
M012-003 6" - 8" I.D. hose
M012-004 8" - 10" 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.
