Installing the Press Booster on Press Tool
. Make sure that the press tool is unplugged or the battery is re-
1
moved and fully open the press tool attachment mounting pin. See
Figure 2. If there is an attachment in the tool, slide it out of the tool.
2. Attach the press booster to the press tool as shown in Figure 2 and
fully close the press tool attachment mounting pin. If the press
booster does not fit on the press tool do not force it. Be aware that
the combined weight can approach 37 lbs. (17 kg).
3. Securely attach shoulder strap as shown in Figure 1. Adjust strap
length as desired.
4. Power the press tool per it’s operating instructions.
Figure 2 – Installing Press Booster on Press Tool
Pressing a Fitting with Press Ring
1. Prepare the connection per fitting manufacturer’s installation instructions. Properly install correct press ring for fitting. Confirm
press ring uses Z3 actuator.
2. Place the shoulder strap to support the press booster. Be aware
that the combined weight can approach 37 lbs. (17 kg). Place one
hand on the handle of the Press Booster and the other on the handle of the press tool.
3. Pull back on the press booster handle to open the actuator arms.
Engage actuator spherical tips into the actuator pockets in the
press ring (Figure 3). Move the press booster handle forward, mak-
ing sure tips are fully engaged in pockets. Do not attempt to hang
tool from press ring. Tool could unexpectedly drop causing serious
injury or death.

4. Operating without a press ring can cause the Press
Booster to jam. With hands on handles and away from pinch
points, operate the press tool per its instructions. Allow the press
tool to complete the cycle.
Repeat the procedure and cycle the press tool a second time. If
the Press Booster has not retracted (you are unable to disengage
the Z3 actuator tips with the pockets) cycle the press tool for a third
time.
The Press Booster should complete its cycle after 2 or 3 press cycles.
If more than three tool cycles are required for the Press Booster to
retract, the Press Booster or the Press Tool need to be serviced.
If tool must be removed before the Press Booster retracts, depress
the pressure release button (Figure 1). Any time release button is
depressed, press is NOT complete and the connection must be
pressed again to ensure completion. If the tool malfunctions during operation, use this procedure.
5. Pull back on the press booster handle to open the actuator arms
and remove the Press Booster from the actuator pockets.
6. Turn press tool OFF.
7. Inspect and test the system in accordance with fitting manufacturer
instructions, normal practice and applicable codes.
