1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet provides application,
maintenance, and inspection procedures for Hydraulic
Crimping Head 1673672--1 (See Figure 1). The tool is
used to crimp SOLISTRAND* Terminals and Splices
onto solid or stranded copper wire sizes 8 through 2
AWG.
The crimping head is designed for use with Foot
Hydraulic Pump 1583659--1, Hand Hydraulic Pump
1583661--1, or Electric Hydraulic Pumps 1583660--1
(115 Vac), and 1583661--2 (230 Vac).
Read these instructions, and all applicable
references, before inserting the nest or indenter, and
crimping any terminals or splices.

assembly for crimping, a latch 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 indenter, and a male quick
connect/disconnect coupler which mates with the
coupler on hose or handle control to release or supply
pressure.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury when using hydraulic
crimping equipment:
- Do NOT modify the crimping equipment in any
way.
- Use only the nest and indenter, 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
Make sure that hydraulic pressure to the hose is
released and that power supply is disconnected
to electric power unit, if applicable.
1. Thoroughly clean the coupling area of the hose
assembly and crimping head.
2. Remove protective dust caps from both quick
connect/disconnect couplers.
3. Hold hose vertically to prevent oil spillage.
Attach hose to coupling section on head. Thread
properly and tighten the collar.
CAUTION
!
Oil flow must be unobstructed between power
unit and crimping head. Make sure that all
couplers are fully mated and tightened.

2. DESCRIPTION
Main components of the crimping head are: a yoke
which houses the indenter and retains the terminal
CAUTION
!
If crimping head must be removed after being in
production, pressure must be released in the
hydraulic system before head is removed.
