Periodic Pressure Relief Valve Check; Maintenance - Greenlee GATOR EK06AT Instruction Manual

Periodic Pressure Relief Valve Check

Test the crimping tool periodically to ensure that the
pressure relief valve activates at the proper pressure.
Testing the Crimping Tool
1. Center a test slug between the nibs.
2. Pull the trigger to advance the nibs. Hold the trigger
down until the pressure relief valve activates.
3. After achieving pressure relief, the ram will auto-
matically return to the start position and the nibs will
retract.
4. Evaluate the test slug as follows:
• If the test slug does not fit into GO slot, the
pressure relief valve is set too high. Send the
crimping tool to an authorized Greenlee service
center.
• If the test slug fits into the GO slot, the pressure
relief valve is set correctly.
• If the test slug fits into the NO GO slot, the
pressure relief valve is set too low. Send the
crimping tool to an authorized Greenlee service
center.
