SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Read instructions and identify all component parts before using the crimper.
• PC1000i crimper can produce 485 tons of crimping force.
• Keep both hands away from pinch points.
• Consult the Continental Crimp Speciications Manual for correct crimper setting
and crimp measurements.
• Always wear eye protection.

PC1000i Safety Precautions

5PC1000i Crimper – Operator Manual
PC1000i Crimper with CrimpIQ™ Controller
PC1000i Initial Crimper Setup
Hydraulic Oil Check: Check the hydraulic oil level in the sight
glass window on the front of the reservoir.
Notes:
• The reservoir requires 45 gallons of ISO grade 46 hydraulic
oil for complete ill.
• If necessary, oil can be drained from either of the two ports
at the rear bottom of the reservoir.
Voltage Tag Check: Check electrical circuit to be certain that
it matches the crimper’s requirements
shown on the voltage tag attached to the
crimper cord.
Notes:
• Plug the PC1000i crimper directly into the appropriate electrical circuit/wall outlet.
• Electrical Requirements:
7.5HP/230V/3Phase (20 Amp)
7.5HP/440V480V/3Phase (20 Amp)
5HP/230V/1Phase (30 Amp)
Caution: Do not run the crimper on an extension cord as low voltage
can damage the motor and/or electrical components.
Rotation of the Motor Check to be certain that the motor rotates
Check: in the direction of the arrow shown on the
motor housing.
Caution: Damage to the pump can result if the motor does not rotate
in the correct direction.

Initial Crimper Setup
Overview
Before the crimper can be used for the irst time, a brief setup process must be completed. This process sets some initial
parameters, identiies this machine to the CrimpCloud® system and allows the user to conirm the Terms and Conditions
for use of this machine.
This process only needs to be completed once when the machine is installed. After that, the machine will power up and
be ready for use.
