Equipment Warning
Proper assembly of Continental ContiTech hose and ttings
Continental ContiTech hose, ttings and crimping equipment work together to provide an e󰀩cient and reliable hose
connection. Continental ContiTech hose and ttings are part of an engineered system and are to be used in accor-
dance with Continental ContiTech specications. Using non-Continental ContiTech components may produce an
assembly that does not meet rated performance. Continental ContiTech does not warrant, expressly or by impli-
cation, hose assemblies that do not incorporate Continental ContiTech hose and ttings, or are not crimped
in accordance with Continental ContiTech process specications.
Buyers may elect to attach additional or non-standard parts or equipment, or to use di󰀨erent manufacturing speci-
cations as necessary to meet the requirements of the buyer or the customer’s application. In such cases, the buyer
has sole responsibility to qualify the hose for the applications as necessary to ensure performance capability.
For guidance in the assembly of Continental ContiTech hose and couplings, please refer to the Continental ContiTech
Crimp Specications Manual. Information in this manual is believed to be accurate, but is not warranted and is subject
to change without prior notice. For the most current product information, check the Continental ContiTech website at
www.contitech.us.

Retraction Stop:
• When making repetitive crimps, setting
the Retraction Stop at a point where the
hose and fitting can be conveniently
withdrawn without allowing the cylinder to
fully retract will greatly reduce the crimp
cycle times.
Back Stop:
• When making repetitive crimps,
setting the Coupling Stop eliminates
the need to visually align the couplings
each time.
For repetitive crimps, position the hose
and tting in the correct position and
bring the face of the coupling stop
against the tting. Tighten the coupling
stop in the correct position.

PC150H Initial Crimper Setup
Follow these steps before using the crimper for the rst time
Mount the crimper on a sturdy workbench in a well-lit area. The workbench should
be able to support the crimper weight of 236 lbs.
The crimper should be mounted close enough to the edge of the work surface so
that hose will not contact the bench or work surface while crimping. There must be
enough clearance for the hose to align perpendicular with the cone base, or the
dies will not seat properly and the crimps will not be accurate
Check the electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the crimper requirements
shown on the voltage tag.
Caution: Do not run the PC150H crimper on an extension cord, as low voltage can
damage the motor and / or electrical components.
Check to be certain that the shipping plug in the pump reservoir has been
replaced with the vent plug shipped with the PC150H crimper.
Always check the oil level in the PC150H pump, when the cylinder is in the retracted
position. It should be 1-½" below the vent plug and it should be visible in the sight
glass window of the pump reservoir.
• If oil needs to be added use ISO 46 weight hydraulic oil.
• Oil can be drained from the rear oil port of the reservoir.

Step 1. To lubricate the master die use the provided CrimpX Die Lubricant 3 oz
mini grease tube and a “ush type” grease coupling. (Mini grease gun is sold
separately).
Step 2. Turn on the crimper, hold and press the green button or the pneumatic
switch to close the crimper to the “0” position.
Step 3. Turn the valve in the “Hold” position, to keep the master dies closed.
Step 4. Lubricate the master die through the 8 lubrication ttings.
Caution: Failure to lubricate this area may result in premature wear and damage.
A molybdenum disulde high pressure grease can be used as well.
PC150H Lubrication Procedure

PC150H Crimping Procedure
Caution: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to crimping, failure to do so may
result in premature wear and possible damage to the master dies and piston
surfaces.
Step 1. Set the dial micrometer at “0”, fully open the master die before installing
the die set into your crimper, then turn the valve in the “hold” position.
Step 2. Select the correct die set for the combination of hose and tting being
crimped. The correct die set can be found in the Continental ContiTech Crimp
Specication Manual.
Step 3. Use the quick-change tool, to place the die set into the crimper. Then
slowly hold and press the green button or the pneumatic switch to close the
crimper head, making sure that the retaining pins enter the location holes in the
master die. The die will click into place when it is properly positioned. Withdraw
the quick change tool when the head is fully close
Step 4. Then, turn the valve to the “Release” position. This will cause the master
die to return to the fully open position.

9
Step 5. Select the correct hose and tting for your project.
Note: Refer to the Continental ContiTech Crimp Specications Manual.
Step 6. Set the dial micrometer to the setting as shown in the most current
Continental ContiTech Crimp Specications Manual for the combination of
hose and tting being crimped, then lock the micrometer.
Micrometer Setting Example:
Each 100 on the Micrometer represents 1 mm above the closed diameter of
the die set. For example, with a 50mm die installed and the Micrometer set at
250 as shown, the nished crimp diameter would be 52.5 mm. (50mm + 2.5mm)
Step 7. With the valve in the “release” position, insert the hose assembly from
either direction into the crimper, taking care not to disturb the die set. Hold the
assembly in place until the crimp is complete.
• Activate the crimp cycle by pressing and holding the green close button or the
pneumatic switch, until the crimp is complete.
• The pump will remain on after the crimp cycle is complete, and the die have
retracted. If necessary, turn the valve to the “Release” position to retract the die
and remove the hose assembly.
Step 8. Check the crimp diameter of the nished assembly with calipers or
micrometers, to be certain that it is within the specications as outlined in the
Continental ContiTech Crimp Specications Manual.
PC150H Crimping Procedure

10
The PC150H Crimper is calibrated at factory using the correct hose, tting, and die
set outlined in the Continental ContiTech Crimp Specications Manual.
Note: All settings are approximate, for minor adjustment adjust the dial as needed.
Due to variations in hose and tting tolerances, some “o󰀨set” may required to
achieve the correct crimp diameter for specic hose and tting combinations across
the range of hose and ttings being crimped. If crimp diameters are consistently too
large or consistently too small, the crimper should be recalibrated.
Step 1. Select the correct hose, tting, and die set.
Note: Refer to the Continental ContiTech Crimp Specications Manual.
Note: While the crimper can be calibrated using any recommended hose and tting
combination, using a hose and tting combination close to the size most frequently
crimped will minimize the o󰀨set required for other sizes and combinations of hose
and ttings.
Step 2. Set the dial micrometer to the setting as shown in the most current Con-
tinental ContiTech Crimp Specications Manual for the combination of hose and
tting being crimped.
Step 3. Check the crimp diameter of the nished assembly with calipers or microm-
eters, to be certain that it is within the specications as outlined in the Continental
ContiTech Crimp Specication Manual.
Note: If the above conditions are not met, the crimper requires recalibration.
• If necessary, the crimp size can be adjusted by making small adjustments on the
unit’s micrometer. Each 100 on the micrometer represents 1 mm above the closed
diameter of the die set.
• For example, with a 50mm die set installed and the Micrometer set at 250, the
nished crimp diameter would be 52.5mm. (50mm + 2.5mm).
• Recheck calibration.
PC150H Calibration Check

Troubleshooting
Problem: Crimper will not run at all.
› The white rocker switch is also a circuit breaker. Check to see that the circuit breaker has not been tripped.
› Check the wall outlet. Use of extension cords or outlets with inadequate power can damage the motor. Do not
run the crimper from a portable power source.
Problem: Crimper is slow or non-functional.
› Check supply voltage to see that it matches the voltage specied on the tag attached to the crimper. Many
problems of this type are associated with inadequate voltage or power. The voltage and power measurements
must be made while the crimper is running and under load.
› Check motor rotation and be certain the motor rotates in the direction of the arrow on the motor housing.
Problem: Crimp diameter too large.
› Check crimper calibration and recalibrate if required.
› Incorrect setting of the micrometer. Check the Continental crimp specications manual.
› Incorrect die being used. Each die has a range of approximately 3mm (.120 in) above the closed diameter of
the die. The closed diameter is the die size stamped on the die face.
› Inadequate pump pressure. Check oil level in the pump. It should be 1-1/2 to 2 inches below the ll plug.
Replenish with ISO Viscosity Grade 46 hydraulic oil if necessary.
› Check oil level. Position dies to the fully open position and check oil sight glass on the side of the machine.
Be sure the oil level is in the middle of the sight glass. Use ISO 32 or 46 weight hydraulic oil.
Do Not adjust pump to produce in excess of 11,000 psi as damage to components or personal injury could result.
Problem: Crimp diameter too small.
› Check crimper calibration and recalibrate if required.
› Incorrect setting of the micrometer. Check the Continental crimp specications manual.
If problem(s) persist, contact customer service for additional troubleshooting assistance.
