GENERAL INFORMATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Never attempt to adjust pressure setting without the use of the proper test gauge. Consult factory for proper
adjusting procedure.
2. All manually operated hydraulic compression tools are equipped with our external replaceable bypass
cartridge. These cartridges should not have to be replaced for 10,000 to 12,000 compressions.
3. Indentor hang up is common with all types of compression tools. Should this occur, the jaws can easily be
separated by holding the pump handle in the release position while prying the jaws apart. Never attempt to
hit connector or tool jaw with hammer as this will damage connector and tool.
4. If tool fails to advance upon receipt or after an extended period of storage, invert tool and rap compression
head sharply on ground. The suction valve check ball can become stuck after extended storage or during
shipment, not allowing the tool to advance.
5. Always clean tool after use to keep ram track clear of dirt and debris.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE EP-750A
1. Check your connector manufacturers recommendations on using a dieless compression tool with the
connector and cable being used. Not all connectors are suitable for dieless tool applications.
2. Position connector between indentors and pump tool handle to hold connector in place. Fully insert cable
into barrel of connector. Be sure connector is properly positioned in the center of the indentors. Damage to
the tool and an improper crimp will result from a misaligned connector.
3. Continue to pump the tool handle and completely crimp the connector. These tools have a built in by-pass
cartridge that will automatically activate when full pressure is reached. There will be a noticeable decrease
in handle pressure when the by-pass is reached. A high pitched squeaking sound is normal when the tool is
operating in the high pressure stage.
4. To release the tool, lift pump handle out and rotate clockwise until handle stops. With handle twisted, push
down so the pin on the handle contacts the release pin on the tool body. The ram will retract and the tool is
ready to begin its next cycle. In the event the tool will not release due to excess flash, hold release pin
down with handle and pry tool jaws apart.
