• Mount the crimper on a sturdy workbench in a well-lit area. Workbench
should be able to support the crimper weight of 154 lbs for PC125RCD
and 85 lbs for PC125MRCD.
Note: The PC125RCD series can be mounted on the PC125 Drawer/
Stand and bolted onto the workbench. (See detailed instructions included
with PC125 drawer/stand).
• 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.
• Always check oil level in the PC125RCD pump, should be 1-1/2 to 2
inches below the vent plug when the cylinder is in the retracted position
and 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.
• If using an optional power unit for the PC125MRCD, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation for proper setup and use. A 10,000 psi
hose and quick disconnect tting has been included with the crimper to
connect an optional power unit to the PC125MRCD cylinder port.
• Check to be certain that the shipping plug in the pump reservoir
has been replaced with the vent plug shipped with the crimper.
• Check electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the crimper
requirements shown on the voltage tag attached to the crimper cord.
• Plug the PC125RCD crimper directly into a 110 volt, 15 amp wall outlet.
