COUPLING INSERTER
Insert the push plate into the hydraulic ram. Note: The 
push plate is easily detachable to provide additional room 
while positioning large hoses and stems.
Position the bottom half of the hose jaw * in the jaw guides 
such that the hose is in line with the center of the push 
plate. Secure the bottom half of the hose jaw.
* Use CI93-11 jaws (standard) for hoses having an O.D. of 2¾" 
to 7¼". Use CI9311SML jaws (optional) for hoses having an O.D. 
of 1" to 2¾".

Lower the upper half of the hose jaw through the jaw 
guides onto the hose.Position the jaw adjustment plate 
above the top hose jaw.
Adjust the hose through the jaw halves such that a 
sufcient length overhangs to accept the coupling. Turn 
the threaded spindle to tighten the jaws around the hose.
5.  6. 
Lubricate the inside of the hose end and/or the shank of 
the coupling with Dixon's lubricant (DCL-80). Insert the 
end of the coupling shank into the hose and position the 
hydraulic ram assembly behind the tting. Secure the 
hydraulic ram assembly in place with the position pins.
Caution: Never place body parts directly in path of hydraulic ram while in operation, as injury may result.
Close the pump valve and pump the ram forward until the 
coupling is fully inserted. Note: Make sure the tting is 
aligned with hose during insertion. Open the pump valve 
for automatic ram return. Remove assembly.
