Install the 6" main pusher (MPUSH600) by sliding it
onto the rod cap of the ram cylinder. Make sure that
the pusher is all the way on the rod cap.
For 1¼" - 5" couplings proceed to Step 1b.
For 6" couplings, proceed to Step 2.
For 1¼" - 5" couplings insert the appropriate size
adapter pusher into the 6" main pusher (
MPUSH600 ).
Shown here is the 2" adapter pusher (50TPUSH200)
being inserted.
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:
50TDH6003 1¼" - 3" I.D. hose
50TDH9004 4" - 6" 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.

Accurately measure the hose O.D. with a diameter
tape. Each end of the hose should be measured to
guarantee the correct ferrule and die selection.
Select the correct ferrule and die based upon the
hose free O.D. just measured from the die chart.
