PREPARATION
Careful inspection of the tool and hydraulic system
before startup is important for safe, reliable operation of
the tool.
The following items should be checked daily at the start
and the end of each work shift.
1. Make sure the proper dies are securely in place.
Operating the tool without dies can deform the
crimping heads. *******Refer to Die Installation for
instructions.
2. Connect hoses. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean,
lint-free cloth before making connections. Dirty
couplers can contaminate the hydraulic lines and
prevent a good seal at the connection.
3. Check all fasteners for tightness.
4. Check the equipment for oil leaks. If leaks are
observed, do not use the tool; have the equipment
serviced before use.
5. Check the tool and hydraulic system for proper
operation and performance.
6. If the equipment does not appear to operate properly,
have it serviced before use.
7. Periodically verify the crimping force of the tool.
Refer to “Die Load Verication” on page 11.
SETUP AND TEST
Verify the crimping force before operating the tool.
OPEN CENTER/CLOSED CENTER
SETUP
The CT06 Hydraulic Crimping Tool can be congured
for either open-center or closed-center operation. The
current setting is easily determined by looking at the gap
between the adapter and the cylinder:
TO CHANGE THE CURRENT SETTING:
1. Remove the hydraulic hose coupling from the return
port on the tool, if one is installed. When making
the change from CC to OC, hydraulic uid may be
trapped in the tool, preventing complete movement
of the adapter. Remove the return coupling to allow
the hydraulic uid to escape.
Open-Center (no gap)
Adapter

Handle
Top View of Tool
Figure 2. OC/CC Setup
2. Loosen the 2 setscrews on the cylinder.
3. Turn the adapter until it stops:
• Counter clockwise (CCW) to change to closed
center (creates gap)
• Clockwise (CW) to change to open center
(closes gap)
4. Tighten the two setscrews.
LATCH NIB REPLACEMENT
The CT06 Hydraulic Crimping Tool has two main
components in the 4-point compression head:
• The cam yoke assembly forms the base of the
compression head. It functions as a movable piston
die to provide the crimping force.
• The latch assembly bridges the cam yoke across
the end of the head. The latch nib in the center of
the assembly is the stationary die.
The following procedure describes how to remove and
replace the latch nibs.
Installing dies in the tools with the hydraulic hoses
connected can cause severe personal injury or
equipment damage. To prevent accidental start-up,
always disconnect the hoses before installing dies.
1. If the hydraulic hoses are connected:
• Turn the hydraulic system control valve OFF.
• Disconnect rst the hydraulic input (supply)
OPERATION

CT06 User Manual ◄ 11
hose, then the output (return) hose.
2. Clean the surfaces of the die holder to remove any
dirt or grease.
3. Pull the pin out to release the latch.
4. Rotate the latch away from the head to provide
access to the nib/nest die.
5. To release the nib/nest die, drive the roll pin out of
the center of the latch.
6. Remove the nib/nest die by rotating it out and around
the small pivot pin inside the latch.
7. Insert the new nib/nest die, rotating it around the
pivot pin as in step 6. Make sure the nib/nest die is
oriented so the notched side faces the pivot pin.
8. Press the nib/nest die rmly until it locks into place.
9. Drive the roll pin into the center of the latch to retain
the nib/nest die.
10. Close the latch. Insert the latch pin.
HYDRAULIC HOSE CONNECTION
Make sure the hydraulic system control valve is in the
OFF position when coupling or uncoupling the hoses.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick
couplers and cause overheating of the hydraulic system.
Before installing the hoses, wipe the ttings and the
entire length of the hoses with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth
to remove any dirt or moisture. Dirty connections can
contaminate the hydraulic uid, causing rapid wear and
early failure of internal pars.
Check the ow indicators (arrows) stamped on the
couplers to ensure oil ows in the proper direction. The
female coupler on the tool is the inlet coupler.
Connect the output (return) hose rst and disconnect it
last to minimize trapped pressure within the tool.
1. Connect the output hose to the OUT or “T” port on
the tool.
2. Connect the input hose to the IN or “P” port.
3. Be sure all hose connections are tight.
DIE LOAD VERIFICATION
1. Use test slugs to verify the crimping force in the tool.
2. Connect the tool to an appropriate hydraulic power
source. Follow the Hydraulic Hose Connection
safety guidelines and instructions in this section. If
possible, use the hydraulic power source you plan to
use for crimping.
3. Position the test slug within the nibs.
4. Actuate the tool to squeeze the test slug.
5. Release the test slug and then measure it.
If the indicated value is low or high, and the system
pressure relief valve setting is greater than 1650 psi
(114 bar), adjust the relief valve on the CT to obtain
the correct die load.
6. When the value is within the acceptable range,
turn the hydraulic system control valve OFF and
disconnect the hoses from the tool.
OC/CC SETTING
Check the open-center/closed-center (OC/CC) setting
on the tool. The current setting is easily determined by
looking at the gap between the adapter and the cylinder,
see Figure 2.
• Open Center: No gap
• Closed Center: Approximately 1/4-inch (6.4-mm)
gap
If the setting is not correct for your hydraulic system,
follow “Open center/closed center setup” on page 10
to make the change.
CHECK POWER SOURCE
Using a calibrated ow meter and pressure gauge,
check the hydraulic power source at the tool’s input port.
Make sure the system maintains an operating ow in the
range of 3–9 GPM/11–34 LPM within a pressure range
of 1650–2000 psi /114–140 bar.
The hydraulic uid temperature should be at least
80°F/27 °C for this test.
CONNECT HOSES
1. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean, lint-free cloth
before making connections.
2. Connect hoses from the hydraulic power source to
the tool ttings or quick disconnects. Connect the
return hose rst and disconnect it last to minimize
trapped pressure within the wrench.
3. Observe the ow indicators stamped on the main
body assembly and the hose couplers to ensure
that the ow is in the proper directions. The female
couple on the tools “IN” port is the inlet (pressure)
coupler.
Note: If the uncoupled hoses are left in the sun,
pressure increase within the hoses can make them
di󰀩cult to connect. Whenever possible, connect the
free ends of the hoses together.
TOOL RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTMENT
The relief valve on a universal pressure CT can be
adjusted to increase or decrease the tool’s crimping
force. Standard CT’s do not have a relief valve.
OPERATION

12 ► CT06 User Manual
The crimping tools relief valve is located below the
trigger guard. The relief valve on the hydraulic system is
totally separate and has a di󰀨erent function.
1. Perform steps 1 through 5 under “Die Load
Verication” on page 11.
2. If the load tester indication is within the acceptable
range, the tools’ relief valve on the hydraulic system
is set correctly. If it is not, adjust the valve as follows:
a. Turn the hydraulic system control valve OFF.
b. Remove the plug from the end of the relief valve,
below the trigger guard.
c. Using a hex wrench, turn the adjusting screw.
Clockwise (CW) to increase pressure or
Counterclockwise (CCW) to decrease pressure.
d. Replace the plug in the relief valve and retest.
Repeat the adjustment if necessary.
TOOL OPERATION
Observe all safety precautions when operating the tool.
Read Safety and hydraulic system requirements before
operating the tool for the rst time.
CONDUCTOR PREPARATION
1. If the conductor is insulated, remove the insulation
from the end of the conductor.
Use an insulation stripping tool. If a stripping tool is
not available, carefully shave the insulation from the
cable.
Be sure not to nick or cut the strands of the conductor.
2. Remove any oxide or foreign matter from the
exposed conductor. A bright, shiny surface is
required for a good connection. Do not wire-brush
tin-plated copper conductors or tinned connectors.
3. Install the connector sleeve onto the conductor.
STARTUP
1. Clean the nibs on the tool. Remove all traces of
lubrication from each tool nib before crimping.
2. Pull the ringed latch pin out of the latch. Rotate the
latch away from the crimping head and then place
the crimping head over the connector sleeve on the
conductor. Close the latch and reinstall the ringed
latch pin.
3. Move the hydraulic system control valve to the ON
position.
4.
The crimping force between the dies in the tool head
can cause severe personal injury. Keep hands away
from the die area when operating the tool.
Remove any trapped air from the tool by squeezing
the trigger 4 or 5 times to advance and retract the
piston nearly a full stroke.
5. Position the tool as follows:
a. Connector sleeves
Center the sleeve between all four nibs in the
compression head. Place the sleeve so the nibs
make the rst crimp adjacent to the center-band
mark.
Make sure the connector sleeve is carefully
centered between all four nibs in the tool.
b. H-Frame Connectors:
Place the connector in the tool so the main
groove is positioned between the top nib and
either side nib. Make sure the positioning
grooves mate with two of the nibs.
6. Squeeze the trigger to crimp the connector.
7. Release the trigger to retract the nibs.
8. Repeat the crimp as required.
9. After the last crimp, make sure the nibs in the
crimping head are fully retracted.
10. Pull out the latch pin and rotate the latch away from
the crimping head.
11. Remove the tool by lifting it clear of the cable.
SHUTDOWN
1. Move the hydraulic system control valve to the OFF
position.
2. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the tool: rst
the input (supply) hose, then the output (return)
hose.
3. Insert plugs in the hose ends, couplers or tool ports,
as applicable.
4. Wipe the tool thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
5. Clean any foreign matter or joint compound from the
die holder surfaces.
OPERATION

CT06 User Manual ◄ 13
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Use an oil with the recommended specication from
the HTMA Requirement table. Using oil that is too
viscous (thick) can damage the hydraulic system.
If the tools is to be used during cold weather, preheat the
hydraulic uid at low engine speed. When using the
normally recommended uids, uid temperature should
be at or above 50°F/10°C (400 ssu/82 centistokes)
before use.
Damage to the hydraulic system or compression tool
can result from use with uid that is too viscous or too
thick.
STORAGE
Replace any damaged or missing safety labels and tags
before storing the tool. Clean, dry and lubricate moving
parts before storage. Store in a clean, dry place.
OPERATION

14 ► CT06 User Manual
• Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before
connection.
• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in
the “OFF” position when coupling or uncoupling
hydraulic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the quick couplers and cause overheating of the
hydraulic system.
• Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from
damage or pilferage.
• Make sure the circuit PRESSURE hose (with male
quick disconnect) is connected to the “IN” port. The
circuit RETURN hose (with female quick disconnect)
is connected to the opposite port. Do not reverse
circuit ow. This can cause damage to internal seals.
• Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts
with replacement parts recommended by STANLEY.
Supply hoses must have a minimum working
pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.
• Do not exceed the rated ow. Rapid failure of the
internal seals may result. Refer “Specications” on
page 16 for correct ow rate.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning
stickers and tags, legible.
• Do not force a small tool to do the job of a large tool.
• Tool repair should be performed by experienced
personnel only.
• Make certain that the recommended relief valves
are installed in the pressure side of the system.
• Do not use the tool for applications for which it was
not intended.
In addition to the safety precautions found in
this manual, observe the following for equipment
protection and care.
TOOL PROTECTION & CARE

CT06 User Manual ◄ 15
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem.
When diagnosing faults in operation of the crimping tool, always check that the hydraulic power source is supplying
the correct hydraulic ow and pressure to the grinder as listed in the table. Use a ow meter known to be accurate.
Check the ow with the hydraulic oil temperature at least 80 °F/27 °C.
