1. Position press tool perpendicular over press sleeve
and close tool jaws to engage ratchet.
2. Close handles, utilizing trigger to reduce grip span if
desired.
3. Extend handle and continue ratcheting until automatic
tool release occurs at proper compression force.
4. Warning: The connection is not leakproof when the
tool has been opened by emergency release.
Maintenance: The press tool is largely maintenance free.
The moving parts should be cleaned and lightly oiled
periodically.
NOTE: For security, the press tool incorporates a
ratcheting mechanism. Once a compression has been
started, it must be completed. This prevents incomplete
connections from being made, eliminating potential leaks.
To open the tool if the handles are closed unintentionally,
completely close the tool to release the ratchet - do not
force the handles apart by pulling.
