INTRODUCTION This instruction sheet covers application, inspection and maintenance procedures for Crimping Heads 58422-1 and 2161730-11 shown typically in Figure 1. The crimping heads use interchangeable crimping dies used to crimp a variety of heavy-duty terminals and splices for large wire sizes (Size 8 thru 4/0 AWG) as listed in Figure 2. This instruction sheet provides general information for the insertion of dies and the crimping procedure. Always refer to the instructions packaged with specific die sets for compatible products, wire ranges, strip dimensions, and application procedures. Products Crimped AMPLI-BOND* and PLASTI-GRIP* Terminals TERMINYL* Terminals and Splices Pre-Insulated AMPOWER* Terminals Pre-Insulated Nylon Heavy Duty Terminals COPALUM* Sealed Terminals and Splices Figure 2 This crimping heads are designed for two DYNA-CRIMP* tools: either Hydraulic Hand Pump 314979-1 described in Customer Manual 409-5860; or Hydraulic Power Unit 69120-[ ] described in Customer Manual 409-1950. Warning: To avoid personal injury and potential damage to the crimp head, TE Connectivity (TE) requires the crimp head to operate at 8,000 to 8,400 PSI [552 to 579 bar]. TE recommends using 8,200 PSI [565 bar] TE Hydraulic Pumps as other manufacturers’ pumps may apply insufficient pressure (resulting in an inadequate crimp) or excessive pressure (resulting in failure of the head). Additionally, the TE pump must be used to maintain CE certification; if using other manufacturers’ pumps, the user is responsible for self-certification. Read these instructions and other applicable references carefully before proceeding. 1 Part Number 2161730-1 is a special version of PN 58422-1, with an extended stroke for terminating sealed COPALUM quick-termination connectors.

NOTE Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Illustrations and figures are for reference only and are not drawn to scale. Reasons for reissue of this Instruction Sheet are provided in Section 8; REVISION SUMMARY. 2. DESCRIPTION Main components of the crimping head are: a yoke which houses the stationary die and retains the terminal assembly for crimping, a removable latch pin which allows pivoting of the yoke on the pivot pin (typically required for splice terminations), a cylinder which contains the head’s hydraulic chamber, a piston (ram) which holds and controls the moving die, and a quick connect/disconnect coupler (cylinder half) which mates with the coupler on hose or handle control to release or supply pressure. DANGER To avoid injury when using DYNA-CRIMP equipment, observe the following precautions:  DO NOT modify the crimping equipment in any way.  USE ONLY dies, terminals, and wire specified for the head.  DO NOT perform repairs other than those specified in the instructional material supplied with the equipment. 3. CRIMPING HEAD INSTALLATION Each crimping head is shipped with a coating of lubricating oil to prevent rust and corrosion. Wipe the oil off before installing the crimping head on the power unit. Note that the crimping head is shipped without oil inside the cylinder. To install crimping head, proceed as follows: DANGER Verify that the hydraulic pressure to hose or handle control is released and that power supply is disconnected from electric power unit, if applicable. NOTE If a coupling component for the hose assembly is packaged inside the quick connect/disconnect coupler on the head, it is to be used to replace the coupling on a hose assembly not equipped with a quick connect/disconnect coupler. 1. Thoroughly clean coupling area of handle control or hose assembly and crimping head (see Figure 1). 2. Remove protective dust caps from both quick connect/disconnect couplers. 3. Hold hose or handle control in vertical position to prevent oil spillage. Attach hose or handle control to coupling section on head. THREAD PROPERLY AND TIGHTEN SECURELY. CAUTION Oil flow must be unobstructed between power unit and crimping head. Verify that all couplers are fully mated and tightened. NOTE If crimping head must be removed after being in production, pressure must be released in the hydraulic system before head is removed.  If using Hydraulic Power Unit 69120-[ ], disconnect power unit from power supply.  If using Hydraulic Hand Pump 314979-1, depress pressure release lever. 4. DIE INSERTION AND REMOVAL (FIGURE 3) DANGER Use extreme care when operating power unit. DO NOT inadvertently actuate the tool when installing or changing dies. Personal injury could result. NOTE Make sure that matched die set, terminal and wire size are compatible. With crimping head properly installed, refer to die set instructions, and insert/change die set as follows: 1. Remove latch pin and open yoke on crimping head.

Figure 3 2. Loosen setscrew in yoke. Refer to die set instructions and insert stationary (upper) die which includes the nest area into well of yoke. Tighten setscrew. 3. Activate power unit to advance ram until setscrew is visible (about 12.7 mm [.50 in.]). Loosen setscrew. 4. Insert moving (lower) die (which serves as the indenter) into ram well, making sure that moving die is properly oriented to mate with stationary die. Tighten setscrew. 5. Close yoke and secure with latch pin. 6. Slowly close dies to ensure proper alignment 7. Complete the cycle and return the ram to the DOWN position CAUTION ALWAYS ensure that latch pin is fully inserted or damage may occur to yoke, dies, or latch pin. 5. CRIMPING PROCEDURE The following crimping procedure provides general information. Refer to instructions packaged with individual die sets for specific products, wire sizes, strip dimensions, positioning of terminals and splices in the dies, and crimping procedures. DANGER To prevent personal injury when operating the power unit, exercise caution while holding terminals, splices or wire near crimping area. CAUTION Never operate the power unit without having a crimping head attached to the handle control or crimping head coupling. 1. Insert terminal or splice in the stationary (upper) die in accordance with instructions packaged with the dies. Verify the latch pin is secure before activating the power unit. 2. Slowly advance moving (lower) die with short, quick strokes until terminal or splice is secure. 3. Insert the stripped wire.

4. Cycle tool to complete the crimp. Remove crimped terminal or splice. NOTE If the splice or terminal sticks in the die after crimping, apply a rocking action to release it. 6. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE DANGER Verify hydraulic pressure is released and power supply is disconnected before following inspection and maintenance procedures, unless otherwise specified in the procedure. Each crimping head is assembled and inspected before shipment. TE Connectivity recommends that the crimping head be inspected immediately upon its arrival at the facility of use, and at regularly scheduled intervals, to ensure the head has not been damaged during handling and use. Frequency of inspection depends upon the following: care, amount of use, and handling of the head; type and size of products crimped; degree of operator skill; and environmental conditions. 6.1. Cleaning Remove accumulations of dirt and grease on the crimping head; especially in areas where dies are installed and terminals are crimped. Clean the entire head frequently with a clean, lint-free cloth. 6.2. Visual Inspection Refer to Figure 4 and proceed as follows: 1. With hydraulic pressure released, inspect the assembled head for nicks, scratches, and cracks. Inspect for cracks especially at the corners of the yoke and around the top of the cylinder. Figure 4 2. Inspect pivot pin holes and latch pin holes for wear. Replace parts, as needed. 3. Activate power unit. Raise ram to “UP” position. Inspect flat and round surfaces of ram for galling (fretting or wear by friction), cracks, or oil leakage. Release pressure and make sure ram retracts smoothly.

4. If head shows evidence of galling, cracks, oil leakage, or rough cycling, return the crimping head to TE for repairs. Refer to Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR. NOTE Once per year, or every 7,500 cycles (whichever comes first), the hydraulic head should be returned to TE for magnetic particle inspection. Additionally, inspect and service the head (as described in Figure 4) every month or 1,000 cycles. Refer to Instruction Sheet 408-9684. 6.3. Crimping Head Check-Out Procedure If the ram fails to return to the “DOWN” position after completion of a crimping cycle, the cause may be in the crimping head. To determine whether the trouble is in the crimping head, or not, proceed as follows: With Hydraulic Power Unit 69120-[ ] With power unit activated, press the pressure release button on the electrical control box, or, if the unit has the “dump” feature, move the trigger to the “dump” position and hold for several seconds. This will release any pressure in the hydraulic system. If the ram returns to the “DOWN” position, the trouble is NOT in the crimping head. If ram does not return, ensure the coupler is fully engaged. If coupler is engaged and ram still does not go DOWN, return the crimping head for repairs. With Hydraulic Hand Pump 314979-1 With power unit activated, turn the HOLD/RETURN lever to the RETURN position. If the ram fails to return to the “START” or “DOWN” position, return the crimping head for repairs. 7. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR Customer-replaceable parts are listed in Figure 5. A complete inventory should be stocked and controlled to prevent lost time when replacement of parts is necessary. Order parts through your TE Representative or call 1-800-526-5142, or send a facsimile of your purchase order to 1-717-986-7605, or write, or return the entire tool for evaluation and repair, with a written description of the problem to: CUSTOMER SERVICE (38-35) TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATION P.O.
