Periodic Pressure ReliefValve Check
Keep hands away from the crimping
tool head when crimping.
Failure to observe this warning can
result in severe injury or death.
Relief valve adjustments must be done by an
authorized service center.
Test the crimping tool periodically to ensure that the
pressure relief valve activates at the proper pressure.
Testing the Crimping Tool
1. Center a test slug between the nibs.
2. Pull the trigger to advance the nibs. Hold the trigger
down until the pressure relief valve activates.
3. After achieving pressure relief, the ram automatically
returns to the start position and the nibs retract.
4. Evaluate the test slug as follows:
•If the test slug does not
fit into GO slot, the
pressure relief valve is
set too high. Send the
crimping tool to an
authorized Greenlee
service center.
•If the test slug fits into
the GO slot, the pres-
sure relief valve is set
correctly.
•If the test slug fits into the NO GO slot, the pres-
sure relief valve is set too low. Send the crimping
tool to an authorized Greenlee service center.
