SAFETY

ALERT

SYMBOL

Read and understand all of the

instructions and safety information in

this manual before operating or

servicing this tool.

Failure to observe this warning can

result in severe injury or death.

Skin injection hazard:

Do not use hands to check for oil

leaks. High pressure oil easily

punctures skin causing serious

injury, gangrene, or death. If injured,

seek medical help immediately to

remove oil.

Wear eye protection when operating

or servicing this tool.

Failure to wear eye protection can

result in serious eye injury from

flying debris or hydraulic oil.

Do not use solvents or flammable

liquids to clean the crimping tool.

Solvents or flammable liquids could

ignite and cause serious injury or

property damage.

An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.

• Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-

tions. Improper combinations can result in an

incomplete crimp.

• Use only W-type dies on aluminum connectors or

aluminum wire. Mismatched components can

result in an incomplete crimp.

• The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed

crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief

valve, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings can result in

severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

This tool is not insulated. When

using this unit near energized

electrical lines, use proper personal

protective equipment.

Failure to observe this warning can

result in severe injury or death.

Operation

Charging the Battery

Read the instructions supplied with the battery charger.

Battery Condition

Wear eye protection when operating

or servicing this tool.

Failure to wear eye protection can

result in serious eye injury from

flying debris or hydraulic oil.

Electric shock hazard:

This tool is not insulated. When

using this unit near energized

electrical lines, use proper personal

protective equipment.

Failure to observe this warning can

result in severe injury or death.

Keep hands away from the crimping

head when crimping.

Failure to observe this warning can

result in severe injury or death.

• Do not operate the tool without dies. Damage to

the ram or crimping head can result.

• Do not operate with the crimping head open.

Damage to the ram or seals can result.

• This tool is not designed for continuous use.

After 30 to 40 crimping cycles, allow the crimping

tool to cool for 15 minutes.

• Do not place the tool in a vise. The crimping tool

is designed for hand-held operation.

• Protect the crimping tool from rain and moisture.

Water will damage the crimping tool and battery.

• Use this tool for the manufacturer’s intended

purpose only.

Failure to observe these precautions can result in

injury or property damage.

Battery Load Display Battery Condition

Momentary illumination at Normal or operating

beginning of crimp charge level

Flickering at point of Normal or operating

maximum crimping force charge level

Flickering during entire Low charge level

crimping cycle

Constant illumination when Low charge level

operating without a load

Installing K22-type Dies

1. Select the proper dies for the intended crimp.

2. Push the die release button.

3. Slide the die into the crimping head until it “snaps”

into place.

4. Properly position the second die. Repeat Steps

2 and 3.

Installing W-type Dies

1. Push the die release button.

2. Slide the die adapter (Greenlee part number

500 4292.0) into crimping head until it “snaps”

into place.

Note: The die adapters have the “D

” die profile.

No additional dies are needed if the connector to be

crimped requires a “D

” die.

3. Repeat for the other adapter.

4. Select the proper dies for the intended crimp.

5. Press the locking flange and open the crimping

head.

6. Push the W-type die detent and slide the W-type die

into place.

Crimping Cable

1. Press the locking flange and open the crimping

head.

2. Insert the properly assembled connector into the

crimping head.

3. Close the crimping head.

4. Pull the trigger to make the crimp.

5. Hold the trigger down until the crimping tool

achieves pressure relief.

Notes: Pressure relief occurs at approximately

690 bar (10,000 psi) and is accompanied by an

audible “pop”.

It is normal for the battery load display to light at

both the beginning and near the end of the crimping

cycle.

An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.

• Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-

tions. Improper combinations can result in an

incomplete crimp.

• Use only W-type dies on aluminum connectors or

aluminum wire. Mismatched components can

result in an incomplete crimp.

• The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed

crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief

valve, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings can result in

severe injury or death.

6. The crimping tool returns automatically.

7. Position the crimping tool for next crimp. Repeat

Steps 4 through 6 for the number of crimps as

described in this manual.

8. Open the crimping head and remove the connector.

Notes: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a

crimping cycle is completed, push the retract button.

Pushing the retract button will result in the complete

retraction of the ram.

After completing the last crimp with W-type dies on an

aluminum connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.

mild detergent.

2. Fully retract the ram. Place the tool in the carrying

case. Store in a cool, dry place.

3. Charge the battery.

Monthly

1. Thoroughly clean all surfaces.

2. Check the oil level.

3. Oil the bolt joints.

Annually or After 10,000 Crimps

1. Change the hydraulic oil.

2. Return the tool to an authorized Greenlee service

center for inspection.

Checking the Oil Level

1. Remove the two screws holding the tank housing

cover.

2. Remove the tank housing cover.

3. Point the cutting head towards the ground and

remove the oil plug. Add oil if necessary.

4. Replace the oil plug and the tank housing cover.

Secure with screws.
