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 ensure completion.
7. After cycle is complete, squeeze actuator arms to
open and separate actuator from press ring. Remove
the press ring from fitting by manually grasping ring
halves and opening assembly. Avoid any sharp edges
which may have formed on fitting during pressing
operation.

Inspecting The Pressed Connection

1. Inspect the pressed fitting. If the fitting is supplied with
a control ring and/or a control label by the fitting
man ufacturer, remove it. Control rings and labels
are supplied by the manufacturer to indicate that the
fitting has not yet been pressed. Removal of the con-
trol ring and label indicates to others that the con-
nection has been pressed.
Look for the following:
• Excessive misalignment of the tubes. Note that a
slight amount of misalignment at the pressed con-
nection is considered normal.
• Tubes that are not fully inserted into the fitting –
dou ble check the insertion marks made on the
tube to see that they are still aligned with the end of
the fitting.
• Incorrect jaw or ring alignment with the fitting con-
tour, distorted or deformed fitting.
• Any other issues per the fitting manufacturer.
If any of these problems are found, then removal of
the fitting is required and a new fitting and tube will
need to be prepared and pressed in its place.
2. Test system in accordance with normal practice and
local codes.
3. See fitting system's operator's manual for specific
inspection criteria.
