Secure the die holders with the keeper plates supplied.

Accurately measure the hose O.D. with a diameter
tape. Each end of the hose should be measured to
guarantee the correct ferrule and die selection.

Select the correct ferrule and die based upon the hose
free O.D. just measured, from the die chart.

Make sure the hose end is cut square. If the hose is to
be static grounded, follow hose manufacturers
procedure for proper static grounding.

Slide the ferrule onto the hose. Place a mark on the
hose at the end of the ferrule. Move the ferrule 1/8”
from the mark just made towards the end of the hose.
Place a second mark on the hose at the end of the
