WARRANTY: This tool is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for
a period of two (2) years from the date purchased. Warranty coverage does not apply to
repairs required due to normal wear and tear. Proof of purchase date is required for all
warranty claims. Obvious misuse or abuse, repairs made or attempted by others, or the
use of any non-Hubbell products resulting in damage to the tool (which can be determined
at a Hubbell ANDERSON® service center) voids any warranty. If inspection by a certified
tool technician shows the issue is due to defective workmanship or material,
ANDERSON® will repair or (at our option) replace the tool. The use of this tool in a
manufacturing process renders this warranty null and void.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RETURNING TOOLS:
Do not ship any tool to the service and repair center without first securing permission.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE AFTER MAINTENANCE OR OVERHAUL
1. After repairs are completed, the tool should be cycled through several crimping operations by pumping
the tool up to full pressure and spill off. This may be done without actually crimping any article in the
tool. Any spongy feeling of free travel while pumping indicates the probability of air in the hydraulic
system and should be corrected before completing the crimping test.
2. Rotate tool head counterclockwise (facing tool head) at least ten complete revolutions and check the
following:
a. Check for binding
b. Check for looseness
c. After ten complete head revolutions, pump tool until it spills off at full pressure and check for
rapid and full retraction of crimping nibs.
3. Check for proper adjustment of release pin mechanism. Make certain that plunger will depress sufficiently to
open ball valve and allow crimping nibs to fully retract.
4. Check for proper spring return of release plunger. Upon retraction of the pump handle release finger, the
release plunger should return to its original position.
5. Check the full open dimension of the crimping nibs. The dimension should be 1.512" to 1.600".
6. Check the nibs fully closed. The dimension should be .222" to .252".
7. Check spring return of the pump handle when rotated and then released.
