Hydraulic Hose Connection; Die Load Verification - Stanley CT06 Safety And Operation Manual

This section includes the following topics:
• open-center/closed-center (

• hydraulic hose connection

• die load verification

The CT06 Hydraulic Crimping Tool requires minimum setup. When the
instructions for installing the dies and hydraulic hoses are carefully
followed, the tool will provide years of efficient and reliable service.
Always verify the crimping force before operating the tool.
The CT06 Hydraulic Crimping Tool can be configured 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:
• open center—no gap (Figure 4–1)
• closed center—approximately ¼-inch (6.4-mm) gap
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 fluid may be trapped in the tool, preventing
complete movement of the adapter. Remove the return
coupling to allow the hydraulic fluid to escape.
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 2 setscrews.
