2. To charge a drained battery, insert the battery into the charger. The LED indicator shows a steady
amber while charging. A depleted battery will be completely charged in approximately 50-70 minutes.
The LED indicator will show a steady green when the battery is fully charged.
3. If the LED indicator goes out or is flashing quick amber, this could be a possible short in the battery
circuit, or a problem with the charger itself. It is best to consult the factory at 1-800-860-3713.for service

Maintenance and Inspection
1. Daily maintenance is required to ensure that the tool is kept in good working condition.
2. Check pressure of tool with factory approved pressure gauge (Semi-annually).
3. Do not store the tool in a humid environment.
4. Wipe away any excess oil with a soapy cloth.
5. Provided that maintenance of the tool is carried out regularly, the tool should provide
many years of service.
Precautions for the Tool
1. Always point the tool AWAY from other people.
2. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a temperature of less than 25º F (-5ºC), the tool
should be allowed to return to room temperature to ensure smooth operation Use the tool
only after it has been at room temperature for 1 hour.
3. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the hydraulic circuit and result in the
tool not functioning correctly.
4. Keep the head and ram clean and free of debris. Solvents can be used to clean the head, but
should not be used on the plastic body. Use soap and water to clean the body.
5. Do not use tool for continuous use. If any sign of overheating, allow the tool to cool for 15

2. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the battery cartridge or dispose of in a fire.
3. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery cartridge.
4. Do not leave the cartridge in locations where it will be exposed to a temperature greater
than 140ºF (60ºC) for an extended period.
5. The battery has a limited life. When the crimping capacity becomes about 1/2 that of the
original capacity, the battery should be replaced.
6. If the battery cartridge is stored without being charged, natural drainage will cause the
power to be reduced. The battery should be charged every 3 months if not in use.
