      If the ram on your Gates Crimp tool won't retract: * Unplug the pump from the electrical outlet. Warning: This is crucial to avoid injury. * Slowly and carefully loosen the hose at the pump, being ready to catch any escaping oil. * If the ram retracts after these steps, the pump valve may be stuck or need replacement.
