Assuring that the hose end is cut square, chamfer
the I.D. of the hose 1/8" at a 45° angle. This will aid
in stem insertion. If the hose is to be static
grounded, follow hose manufacturers procedure for
proper static grounding.
Install the 4" Main Pusher (M011-065) by sliding it
onto the rod cap of the ram cylinder. Make sure that
the pusher is all the way on the rod cap. Install the
appropriate adapter pusher (by coupling size) into
the main pusher.
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 chart.

Hold the ferrule against the stem collar (sizes 1-1/2"
- 3" only). Using a small ruler or other measuring
devise, insert it between the stem and ferrule until it
contacts the stem collar. Measure the depth at the
end of the ferrule. Place a mark on the hose (the
hose end to be assembled) that corresponds with
this measurement.
