Condux Crimp-On Pulling Eyes - Manual (Page 12)

H. CRIMPING THE PULLING EYE
To make the first crimp, pick up the crimper assembly and place the loop in the cable
around the pulling eye. Place the crimper cable directly over the marked line closest to
the head of the pulling eye. By placing the crimp on the marked line, you are making sure
that the crimp is made into the recess of the spike, which is inside the tube of the pulling
eye.
Run the ram out on the crimper assembly to pull the cable tight around the pulling eye.
Check to make sure the cable is still centered over the marked line. Also, check to make
sure the crimper cable doesn't cross over itself in making the loop. The cable will wear
prematurely and may fracture if crossed over itself while crimping on the tube.
!NOTE: To extend the life of the crimper cable, lubricate the cable with a spray lubri-
cant while crimping.
Continue to run the ram out. The crimper cable will collapse the wall of the pulling eye
tube. Apply pressure until the depth of the crimp is approximately ½ of the diameter of the
crimper cable. Release the pressure to the crimper assembly.
