GENERAL INFORMATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Select the appropriate compression die set for the connector and cable being used. All “U” style Huskie
HT41-series dies can be used with these tools.
2. To insert the dies, depress the die release pin on the ram, and slide die into place. Then lift release knob on
top of “C” head and slide other die half in place. Be sure both die halves are secure before operating the tool.
3. Position the connector between the dies and pump tool handle until the connector is held in place. Fully
insert the cable into the barrel of the connector.
4. Continue to pump the tool handle and completely crimp the connector. These tools all 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.
5. 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.
6. A compression gauge, model PG-4 is available for these tools for checking output pressure. Consult
factory for proper adjusting procedure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE EP-510C
1. Never operate tools without dies in place. Failure to insert dies before operation will cause damage to the
“C” frame and tool ram.
2. Never attempt to adjust pressure setting without the use of the proper test gauge. Consult factory for
proper adjusting procedure.
3. 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.
4. Die 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 withhammer as this will damage connector and tool.
5. 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.
6. Always clean tool after use to keep ram track clear of dirt and debris.
