50 Ton Ram Instruction Manual

Move the directional control lever to the

“FORWARD” position and depress the button on the

remote. Advance the cylinder forward until the end

of the ferrule is near the die opening. Using a

wooden board or metal pipe, lift the ferrule up. Jog

the cylinder by depressing and releasing the button

on the remote. This will allow the ferrule to enter the

die slowly. After the ferrule has entered the die, stop

advancing the cylinder.

Align the wing nut (or spud) with the pusher

ensuring they are flush with each other. Jog the

cylinder forward until pressure begins to register on

the gauge. Leave the directional control lever in the

“FORWARD” position. Check the alignment

between pusher and wing nut (or spud). If any

adjustment is necessary, do it now.

Reposition the tie down bars on the die face so that

the wing nut (or spacer) will clear.

Depress and hold the button on the remote until the

wing nut (or spacer) contacts the die face. Release

the button. Return the directional control lever to the

“NEUTRAL” position.

Note! For 3/4" and 1" couplings having the ferrule

crimped on, stop the swage when the crimped area

of the ferrule begins to enter the die.

Note: If the gauge reads 10,000 PSI before swaging

is complete, stop. The ferrule or die used for that

hose end may be incorrect. Contact Dixon for

further assistance.
