wedged between the nibs of the
tool. Center the connector
between the four nibs before
crimping.
Failure to observe this precaution
WRONG

2. Pull the trigger to advance the nibs. Hold the trigger
down until the pressure relief valve activates.
Note: Pressure relief occurs at approximately
690 bar (10,000 psi) and is indicated by an audible
“pop.”
3. After achieving pressure relief, the ram automatically
returns to the start position and the nibs retract.
4. Complete the number of crimps specified by the
connector manufacturer.

Periodic Pressure Relief Valve Check
Test the crimping tool periodically to ensure that the
pressure relief valve activates at the proper pressure.
Testing the Crimping Tool
1. Center a test slug between the nibs.
2. Pull the trigger to advance the nibs. Hold the trigger
down until the pressure relief valve activates.
3. After achieving pressure relief, the ram automatically
returns to the start position and the nibs retract.
4. Evaluate the test slug as follows:
• If the test slug does not fit into GO slot, the pres-
sure relief valve is set too high. Send the crimping
tool to an authorized Greenlee service center.
• If the test slug fits into the GO slot, the pressure
relief valve is set correctly.
• If the test slug fits into the NO GO slot, the pres-
sure relief valve is set too low. Send the crimping
tool to an authorized Greenlee service center.
After Each Use
1. Wipe all tool surfaces clean with a damp cloth and
mild detergent.
2. Fully retract the ram. Place the crimping tool in the
carrying case. Store in a cool, dry place.
Monthly
1. Thoroughly clean all surfaces.
2. Check the oil level.
Annually or Every 10,000 Crimps
1. Change the hydraulic oil.
2. Return the tool to an authorized Greenlee service
center for inspection.
