Section 4

Lubricate the Hose I.D. and the O.D. of the
coupling shank with Dixon lubricant or equivalent.
Insert the Cam and Groove fitting with ferrule onto the
hose until the ferrule is even with the mark closest to
the hose end. This is the second mark made on the hose.

For “C” Style couplings requiring spacer rings:

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

b. Lubricate the outside of the ferrule with

Crisco® (recommended) or a high viscosity oil
or heavy duty grease.

Note : When using the Notched Stem and ferrule
system these guidelines must be followed:
A. Before stem insertion, assemble the ferrule onto the stem

by sliding the turned over portion of the ferrule past the
notched sections of the stem collar. Rotate the ferrule 90°

(1/4 turn).

B. Before starting the swaging process, make sure that the

turned over portion of the ferrule and the collar are fully
engaged.

C. For “C” style couplings (requiring spacer rings), make

sure that the two ring halves meet over the turned over

portion of the ferrule which should be under the cam arms.
