Lubricate the O.D. of the stem and the I.D. of the
hose with Dixon lubricant or equivalent.

Insert the end of the fitting into hose. Assemble
ferrule onto stem by sliding turned over portion of
ferrule past notched section of the stem collar.
Rotate the ferrule 90° (1/4 turn). With ferrule and
stem engaged, continue installing stem until ferrule
reaches the second mark made on the hose.

Lubricate the outside of the ferrule with Crisco®
(recommended) or a high viscosity oil or heavy
duty grease.

Lubricate the I.D. of die halves with Crisco®
(recommended) or a high viscosity oil or heavy
duty grease.

Insert the hose with fittings through the bottom
of the ram (between the die holders) to allow
enough room to install the die halves into the
die holder.
