OPERATION
PRE-OPERATION
Careful inspection of the tool and hydraulic system be­fore startup is important for safe, reliable operation of the tool.
The following items should be checked daily at the start and the end of each work shift.
1. Make sure the proper dies are securely in place. Op­erating the tool without dies can deform the crimping heads. Refer to Die Installation for instructions.
2. Connect hoses. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean, lint-free cloth before making connections. Dirty cou­plers can contaminate the hydraulic lines and pre­vent a good seal at the connection.
3. Check all fasteners for tightness.
4. Check the equipment for oil leaks. If leaks are ob­served, do not use the tool; have the equipment ser­viced before use.
5. Check the tool and hydraulic system for proper op­eration and performance.
6. If the equipment does not appear to operate prop­erly, have it serviced before use.
7. Periodically verify the crimping force of the tool. Re-
fer to Die Load Verication.
SETUP AND TEST
Verify the crimping force before operating the tool.
OPEN CENTER/CLOSED CENTER SETUP
The CT06 Hydraulic Crimping Tool can be congured
for either open-center or closed-center operation. The current setting is easily determined by looking at the gap between the adapter and the cylinder:
TO CHANGE THE CURRENT SETTING:
1. Remove the hydraulic hose coupling from the return
port on the tool, if one is installed. When making the change from CC to OC, hydraulic uid may be
trapped in the tool, preventing complete movement of the adapter. Remove the return coupling to allow
the hydraulic uid to escape.
Cylinder
Top View of Tool
Figure 2. OC/CC Setup
2. Loosen the 2 setscrews on the cylinder.
3. Turn the adapter until it stops:
Counter clockwise (CCW) to change to closed
center (creates gap)
Clockwise (CW) to change to open center (clos­es gap)
4. Tighten the two setscrews.
Open-Center (no gap)
Adapter
Trigger Handle
LATCH NIB REPLACEMENT
The CT06 Hydraulic Crimping Tool has two main com­ponents in the Anderson compression head:
The cam yoke assembly forms the base of the com­pression head. It functions as a movable piston die to provide the crimping force.
The latch assembly bridges the cam yoke across the end of the head. The latch nib in the center of the assembly is the stationary die.
The following procedure describes how to remove and replace the latch nibs.
WARNING
Installing dies in the tools with the hydraulic hoses
connected can cause severe personal injury or
equipment damage.
To prevent accidental start-up, always disconnect the
hoses before installing dies.
10 ► CT06 User Manual
Page 11
OPERATION
1. If the hydraulic hoses are connected:
Turn the hydraulic system control valve OFF.
Disconnect rst the hydraulic input (supply)
hose, then the output (return) hose.
2. Clean the surfaces of the die holder to remove any dirt or grease.
3. Pull the pin out to release the latch.
4. Rotate the latch away from the head to provide ac­cess to the nib/nest die.
5. To release the nib/nest die, drive the roll pin out of the center of the latch.
6. Remove the nib/nest die by rotating it out and around the small pivot pin inside the latch.
7. Insert the new nib/nest die, rotating it around the pivot pin as in step 6. Make sure the nib/nest die is oriented so the notched side faces the pivot pin.
8. Press the nib/nest die rmly until it locks into place.
9. Drive the roll pin into the center of the latch to retain the nib/nest die.
10. Close the latch. Insert the latch pin.
HYDRAULIC HOSE CONNECTION
Make sure the hydraulic system control valve is in the OFF position when coupling or uncoupling the hoses. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick cou­plers and cause overheating of the hydraulic system.
Before installing the hoses, wipe the ttings and the en­tire length of the hoses with a clean, dry lint-free cloth to remove any dirt or moisture. Dirty connections can
contaminate the hydraulic uid, causing rapid wear and
early failure of internal pars.
Check the ow indicators (arrows) stamped on the cou­plers to ensure oil ows in the proper direction. The fe-
male coupler on the tool is the inlet coupler.
It is a good practice to connect the output (return) hose
rst and disconnect it last to minimize or avoid trapped
pressure within the tool.
1. Connect the output hose to the OUT or T port on the tool.
2. Connect the input hose to the IN or P port.
3. Be sure all hose connections are tight.
DIE LOAD VERIFICATION
1. Use Anderson test slugs to verify the crimping force in the tool.
2. Connect the tool to an appropriate hydraulic power source. Follow the Hydraulic Hose Connection safe­ty guidelines and instructions in this section. If pos­sible, use the hydraulic power source you plan to use for crimping.
3. Position the test slug within the nibs.
4. Actuate the tool to squeeze the test slug.
5. Release the test slug and then measure it.
If the indicated value is low or high and the system pressure relief valve setting is greater than 1650 psi (114 bar), adjust the relief valve on the CT to get the correct die load.
6. When the value is within the acceptable range, turn the hydraulic system control valve OFF and discon­nect the hoses from the tool.
OC/CC SETTING
Check the open-center/closed-center (OC/CC) setting on the tool. The current setting is easily determined by looking at the gap between the adapter and the cylinder, see Figure 2.
Open Center: No gap
Closed Center: Approximately 1/4-inch (6.4-mm)
gap
If the setting is not correct for your hydraulic system, fol­low the instructions in this section, OC/CC Adjustment, to make the change.
CHECK POWER SOURCE
Using a calibrated owmeter and pressure gauge, check
the hydraulic power source at the tool’s input port. Make
sure the system maintains an operating ow in the range
of 3–9 gpm/11–34 lpm within a pressure range of 1650– 2000 psi /114–140 bar.
The hydraulic uid temperature should be at least 80
°F/27 °C for this test.
CONNECT HOSES
1. Wipe all hose couplers with a clean, lint-free cloth before making connections.
2. Connect hoses from the hydraulic power source to
the tool ttings or quick disconnects. It is good prac­tice to connect the return hose rst and disconnect it
last to minimize or eliminate trapped pressure within the wrench.
3. Observe the ow indicators stamped on the main body assembly and the hose couplers to ensure
that the ow is in the proper directions. The female
couple on the tools “IN” port is the inlet (pressure) coupler.
CT06 User Manual ◄ 11

OPERATION
NOTE:
If the uncoupled hoses are left in the sun, pressure increase within the hoses can make them difcult to connect. Whenever possible, connect the free ends of the hoses together.
TOOL RELIEF VALVE ADJUSTMENT
The relief valve on a universal pressure CT can be ad­justed to increase or decrease the tool’s crimping force. Standard CT’s do not have a relief valve.
The crimping tools relief valve is located below the trig­ger guard. The relief valve on the hydraulic system is totally separate and has a different function.
1. Perform steps 1 through 5 under Die Load Verica­tion.
2. If the load tester indication is within the acceptable range, the tools’ relief valve on the hydraulic system is set correctly. If it is not, adjust the valve as follows:
a. Turn the hydraulic system control valve OFF.
b. Remove the plug from the end of the relief valve,
below the trigger guard.
c. Using a hex wrench, turn the adjusting screw.
Clockwise (CW) to increase pressure or Coun­terclockwise (CCW) to decrease pressure.
d. Replace the plug in the relief valve and retest.
Repeat the adjustment if necessary.
TOOL OPERATION
Observe all safety precautions when operating the tool. Read Safety and Hydraulic System Requirements, be-
fore operating the tool for the rst time.
CONDUCTOR PREPARATION
1. If the conductor is insulated, remove the insulation from the end of the conductor.
Use an insulation stripping tool. If a stripping tool is not available, carefully shave the insulation from the cable.
Be sure not to nick or cut the strands of the conduc­tor.
2. Remove any oxide or foreign matter from the ex­posed conductor. A bright, shiny surface is required for a good connection. Do not wire-brush tin-plated copper conductors or tinned connectors.
3. Install the connector sleeve onto the conductor.
STARTUP
1. Clean the nibs on the tool. Remove all traces of lu­brication from each tool nib before crimping.
2. Pull the ringed latch pin out of the latch. Rotate the latch away from the crimping head and then place the crimping head over the connector sleeve on the conductor. Close the latch and reinstall the ringed latch pin.
3. Move the hydraulic system control valve to the ON position.
WARNING
The crimping force between the dies in the tool head
can cause severe personal injury.
Keep hands away from the die area when operating
the tool.
4.
Remove any trapped air from the tool by squeezing the trigger 4 or 5 times to advance and retract the piston nearly a full stroke.
5. Position the tool as follows:
a. Connector sleeves
Center the sleeve between all four nibs in the
compression head. Place the sleeve so the nibs make the rst crimp adjacent to the center-band
mark.
Make sure the connector sleeve is carefully centered between all four nibs in the tool.
b. H-Frame Connectors:
Place the connector in the tool so the main
groove is positioned between the top nib and ei­ther side nib. Make sure the positioning grooves mate with two of the nibs.
6. Squeeze the trigger to crimp the connector.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT
7. Release the trigger to retract the nibs.
8. Repeat the crimp as required.
9. After the last crimp, make sure the nibs in the crimp­ing head are fully retracted
10. Pull out the latch pin and rotate the latch away from the crimping head.
11. Remove the tool by lifting it clear of the cable.
SHUTDOWN
1. Move the hydraulic system control valve to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the tool: rst the input (supply) hose, then the output (return) hose.
3. Insert plugs in the hose ends, couplers or tool ports, as applicable.
4. Wipe the tool thoroughly with a clean dry cloth.
5. Clean any foreign matter or joint compound from the die holder surfaces.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Use an oil with the recommended specication from
the HTMA Requirement table. Using oil that is too
viscous (thick) can damage the hydraulic system.
If the tools is to be used during cold weather, preheat the
hydraulic uid at low engine speed. When using the nor­mally recommended uids, uid temperature should be
at or above 50°F/10°C (400 ssu/82 centistokes) before use.
Damage to the hydraulic system or compression tool
can result from use with uid that is too viscous or too
thick.
STORAGE
Replace any damaged or missing safety labels and tags before storing the tool. Clean, dry and lubricate moving parts before storage. Store in a clean, dry place.

TOOL PROTECTION & CARE
NOTICE
In addition to the Safety Precautions found in
this manual, observe the following for equipment
protection and care.
Make sure all couplers are wiped clean before con­nection.
The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the “OFF” position when coupling or uncoupling hy­draulic tools. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick couplers and cause overheating of the hydraulic system.
Always store the tool in a clean dry space, safe from damage or pilferage.
Make sure the circuit PRESSURE hose (with male
quick disconnect) is connected to the “IN” port. The circuit RETURN hose (with female quick discon­nect) is connected to the opposite port. Do not re-
verse circuit ow. This can cause damage to internal
seals.
Always replace hoses, couplings and other parts with replacement parts recommended by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Supply hoses must have a mini­mum working pressure rating of 2500 psi/172 bar.
Do not exceed the rated ow. Refer to Specications in this manual for correct ow rate. Rapid failure of
the internal seals may result.
Always keep critical tool markings, such as warning stickers and tags legible.
Do not force a small tool to do the job of a large tool.
Tool repair should be performed by experienced
personnel only.
Make certain that the recommended relief valves are installed in the pressure side of the system.
Do not use the tool for applications for which it was not intended.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem.
When diagnosing faults in operation of the crimping tool, always check that the hydraulic power source is supplying the correct hydraulic ow and pressure to the grinder as listed in the table. Use a owmeter known to be accurate. Check the ow with the hydraulic oil temperature at least 80 °F/27 °C.
