5. CRIMPING OF CONNECTORS ON ALUMINIUM CABLES
5.1) Pre-rounding conductor
– From the table (Fig. 9, page 42) select the adaptors and pre-rounding dies for the appropriate
conductor size.
– Insert the upper adaptor AU130-... and AC130-P lower adaptor into the head (see § 5.3).
– Insert the pre-rounding die (94) into the AC130-P adaptor (see § 5.4).
– Position the conductor into the pre-rounding die (95) and locate the pre-rounding die (95) in
the adaptor AU130-... (see § 5.4). Ensure that the pre-rounding die is correctly located in the
adapter with it's upper slot in line with the internal adapter pins.
– Operate the tool until the dies are fully closed.
Release the hydraulic pressure (see § 3.4) and remove the compacted round conductor.
5.2) Connector crimping
– Remove the pre-rounding dies and the adaptor AC130-P from the tool head (see § 5.4).
– From the table (Fig. 9, page 42) select the containing die and indentor recommended for the
conductor size.
– Insert the indentor PS130.../E into the ram (28) (see § 5.4).
– Insert conductor into the connector; locate the connector into the containing die; locate the
containing die in the adaptor (see § 5.4).
Commence indent crimping from the barrel end for both splices and terminals, following the
sequence shown below.
– For every operation ensure the die is correctly located in the adapter with it's upper slots in line
with the internal adapter pins.
– Each indenting operation is completed when indentor and die are fully closed;
it is recommended to continue pumping until the maximum pressure valve is activated and a
"click" is heard (see § 3.3).

5.3) Adaptor fi tting and removal
– Insert the upper adaptor AU130-... (98) into the U-fork head (33) until secured by the locators
(34). To remove the adaptor from the U-fork head, push the adaptor from the locators and slide out.
