Pressing A Fitting With Typical Actuator And Press Ring Set - RIDGID RP 200-B Manual De Instrucciones

RP 200-B Press Tool
NOTICE The RP 200-B Press Tool will turn off auto-
matically if the battery is too low to successfully com-
plete a pressed connection. This will be indicated by a
continuous ON/OFF flashing of the LED light. A fully
charged battery should be inserted in the tool and the
pressed connection should be repeated as indicated
above.
To retract the rollers and remove the tool from the fitting if
battery dies or tool malfunctions during pressed connec-
tion, it is necessary to press the pressure release button
(Figure 1). If this happens, the connection will need to be
pressed again to insure completion.
8. After the cycle is complete, squeeze jaw arms to
open the jaws.
9. Remove the RP 200-B and jaws from tube and
inspect the pressed connection. Avoid sharp edges
that may have formed on the fitting during the press-
ing operation.
Pressing A Fitting With Typical Actuator
And Press Ring Set
1. Make sure the RP 200-B Press Tool has the correct
actuator installed and the mounting pin is fully closed
and locked.
2. Insert fully charged battery into the back of the RP
200-B.
3. Make sure the tubing is inserted to the proper depth
in fitting, as specified in the appropriate fitting system's
operator's manual.
4. Open the appropriate press ring and place at right
angle onto the fitting (Figure 8). Align ring with fitting
according to fitting system's operator's manual. Re -
check insertion depth before completing press pro-
cess.
5. Squeeze actuator arms to open the actuator assem-
bly. Engage actuator ends into the actuator pockets in
the press ring (Figure 9) . Make sure actuator ends are
fully engaged in pockets. Do not attempt to hang
tool and actuator from press ring. Tool could unex-
pectedly drop causing serious injury or death.
6. Depress and release the switch one time to turn tool
ON. The LED light on the front of the tool should
solidly illuminate indicating the tool is ready to press.
NOTE! Tool will automatically turn OFF if left unused
for 150 seconds. To turn tool ON, it is necessary
to once again depress and release the switch of
the tool.

Depress the tool switch. Keep fingers and hands
away from actuator and press ring to avoid crushing
injuries in attachments and between attachments
and surroundings. The press cycle takes about four
(4) seconds. Once a press cycle begins and the
rollers contact the actuator arms, the tool will lock-on
and automatically complete the press cycle. Releasing
the trigger will not stop the tool once the pressing
process has begun. This assures consistent, repeat-
able press joint integrity.
