CRIMPING HEAD REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
• Pull out the pins and remove crimp head for
mounting different crimping die inserts into the
crimp head. Once die inserts have been installed,
reinsert the crimp head and lock the head with
the locating pins (see Step 1) paying attention
that the pins are locked securely before starting.
• The crimping cycle is terminated when the dies
are completely closed and the maximum crimping
force is reached, which is indicated by the auto
retraction of the piston.
• Follow the instructions for installing crimp die
inserts below. The directional callouts indicate die
position for correct die orientation.
Refer to CT-2500, CT-2500/E (PA25346A01);
