Loosen and move any tie down bars that may come
in contact with the coupler head. Depress and hold
the button on the remote until the spacer rings are
even with or about to contact the die face. Release
the button on the remote. Return the directional
control lever to the “NEUTRAL” position.
Move the directional control lever to the “REVERSE”
position. Depress and hold the button on the
remote retracting the cylinder until there is sufficient
room for the stem and ferrule to clear the die bed.
Note: If the gauge reads 10,000 PSI before swaging
is complete, stop. The ferrule or die used for that
hose end may be incorrect. Contact Dixon for
further assistance.

Move the directional control lever to the
“FORWARD” position. Depress the button on the
remote and advance the cylinder 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 quickly depressing and releasing the
button on the remote. This will allow the ferrule to
enter the die slowly without contacting the die face.
Continue jogging the cylinder until the ferrule has
entered the die approximately one half inch.
