3.1. Crimp Head Removal from Hand Tool

1. Remove the two retaining rings from one side of

the hand tool body and push the retaining pins,

along with the two remaining retaining rings,

through the opposite side of the tool body as

shown in Figure 2.

2. Slide the crimp head out of the tool body.

3.2. Crimp Head Installation onto Adapter

The adapter has two quick pins installed. The quick

pins will be used to secure the crimp head to the

adapter. Therefore, these quick pins must be

removed prior to installing the crimp head, then

proceed as follows:

1. Align the crimp head mounting holes with the

adapter quick pin holes as shown in Figure 1, then

insert the crimp head into adapter cavity.

2. Install the quick pins through the slotted holes in

the adapter and into the crimp head mounting

holes. See Figure 1.

If quick pins become difficult to install, it may be

necessary to jog the clevises to properly align the

holes.

After the crimp head is installed, make sure that

the quick pins are FULLY inserted to avoid

personal injury and damage to the tool.

3.3. Adapter Installation and Removal

After the crimp head has been installed onto the

adapter, the adapter is ready for installation onto the

pneumatic tool. Refer to Customer Manual 409--5862

for instructions on removing a previously installed

cam and tool holder from the pneumatic tool.

Air pressure must be removed from the

pneumatic tool t while crimp head or tool holder

is detached.

DO NOT operate the pneumatic tool without the

proper adapter and crimp head installed.

1. If the adapter cam setscrew is not installed in

the adapter cam, thread the setscrew into the

adapter cam two to three turns.

2. Place the adapter cam (with setscrew) onto the

piston rod of the pneumatic tool as shown in Figure

3. The adapter cam should butt against the piston

rod face. If not, turn the setscrew counterclockwise

until the adapter cam fits on the piston rod

properly.

Over--tightening the adapter cam setscrew may

damage the setscrew or cam.

3. Using the hex wrench supplied with the adapter,

tighten the cam setscrew, then pull on the cam to

ensure that it is firmly attached.
