OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Compression
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Daily maintenance is required to ensure that the tool is kept in good working condition.
2. Do not store the tool in a humid environment.
3. Wipe away any excess oil with a soapy cloth.
4. Provided that maintenance of the tool is carried out regularly, the tool should provide
many years of service.
5. Should you experience any difficulty with the operation and maintenance of this tool,
contact Huskie’s technical support department at 1-800-860-6170.
1. Before connecting the tool head, make sure the pump and hose being used is working
properly, and adjusted to and rated at 10,000 psi. The use of a pump or hose not rated
at 10,000 psi working pressure may cause severe damage and result in personal injury.
2. Connect the tool head to the pump and hose, making sure all coupler connections are
secure. It is important that all connections are tight for tool to function properly.
3. Select appropriate compression die set for the connector and cable being used. The
“U” style Huskie HT-41 series dies are to be used with these tools
4. 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.
5. Position the connector between the dies and operate pump to hold connector in place.
Fully insert cable into the barrel of the connector and operate pump as described
in the pump operations manual until connector is fully crimped. For pumps that are
not equipped with a hold feature, connector and cable must be in alignment before
operating the pump.
6. Always be sure to keep couplers clean and caps in place when the tool is not being
used.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTION FOR THE TOOL
1. Always point the tool AWAY from other people.
2. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a temperature of less than 25º F (-5ºC), the tool
should be allowed to return to room temperature to ensure smooth operation Use the tool only
after it has been at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the hydraulic circuit and result in the tool
not functioning correctly.
4. Keep the head and ram clean and free of debris. Solvents can be used to clean the head, but
should not be used on the plastic body. Use soap and water to clean the body.
5. Do not use tool for continous use. If any sign of over heating, allow the tool to cool for 15 mins.
6. Do not allow tool to be submerged in water. The tool may be used to in damp or wet
environments. However it is recommended for tool to be air-dried before use.
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR THE TOOL
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 re-
placeable 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 pry-
ing 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.
