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withdrawn without allowing the cylinder to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.

INITIAL SET UP & MAINTENANCE
Do not lift the machine by the crimper head.
Lift with a fork lift under the tank.
Mount the crimper on a sturdy surface.
Check electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the crimper
requirements shown on the tag attached to the crimper cord.
Electrical Requirements:
1HP / 110V / 1Phase (Standard)
2HP / 220V / 1Phase (Optional)
1HP / 12V / 1Phase (Optional)
1HP / 24V / 1Phase (Optional)
Check the oil level in the sight glass on the side of the crimper.
13 quarts of ISO 46 hydraulic oil are required to completely rell the tank.
Oil can be drained from either port on the side of the tank.
LUBRICATION:
• Check the tank sight glass for proper reservoir oil level. If additional oil
is required ll with ISO Grade 46 hydraulic oil.
Crimper Head Lubrication
Lubrication passages are drilled in the CC15 die holders.
This feature makes positive lubrication of the wear
surfaces much easier assuring longer life and smoother
crimper operation. Foam pads are installed between the
die holders to keep dirt and debris from destroying the
die and piston surfaces.
• Close the die holders to a position nearly ush with
the front plate of the crimper to expose the lubrication
ttings in the front of the die holders. Lubricate with the
CrimpX grease furnished with the crimper or a moly-
disulde lubricant. Failure to use a high quality lubricant
can result in premature wear and possible damage to the master dies and
piston surfaces.
• The foam pads may be removed to make certain that the grease
passages are open and that grease is getting to the wearing surfaces.
Replace the pads as they are critical to protect the wearing surfaces
from damage.

RELEASE
• Select the correct die set for the combination of hose and tting being
crimped. Consult the hose and tting manufacturer’s specications
for the correct die to use and nal crimp diameter required.
• To insert the dies, open the master dies to the fully open position,
and insert each die nger individually making certain that the die size
(number stamped on the die) is correct. The die should click into
place with the ball detent when it is properly positioned.
• The nal crimp diameter is the closed diameter of the die stamped
on the face of the die plus the number shown on the micrometer. See
micrometer setting example below.
Micrometer Setting Example
Each 100 on the metric Micrometer represents 1 mm above
the closed diameter of the die set. For example, with a 10mm
die installed and the Micrometer set at 250, the nished crimp
diameter would be 12.5 mm. (10mm + 2.5mm)
• Insert the hose and tting in the crimper head and press and hold
the green Start/Close button or press and hold the Foot Switch.
When the crimper reaches the correct diameter, the crimper will shut
o󰀨. When possible, the hose tting should be centered axially in the
die set to assure a uniform crimp with minimum taper.
• When the Hold/Release valve is in the Hold position, the crimper
can be jogged into position to allow for more accurate positioning of
the tting in the die set. Turn the Hold/Release valve to the Release
position to allow the dies to retract.
• Measure the nished crimp diameter to be certain that it is within
manufacturer’s specications. If the nished diameter is not within
specications, see calibration instructions.
Note: Due to tolerance variations in hose and fitting
combinations, some “oset” may be required for specic
combinations of hose and ttings. This does not mean that
the crimper is out of calibration.

CALIBRATION CHECK:
While the CC15 Crimper is calibrated at the factory prior to shipment, a calibration check is recommended prior to
using the crimper. Select a typical hose and tting and set the CC15 micrometer to the hose and tting manufacturer’s
recommendation. Insert the hose and tting and press and hold the Start/Stop switch until the crimper shuts o󰀨. Measure
the nished crimp. If the nished crimp diameter is not within the hose manufacturers specications, recalibrate the
crimper.
Note: 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.
Knob Set Screw
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
CALIBRATION:
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.
• Select a hose and tting combination recommended by the hose
manufacturer and continue to adjust the Crimp Adjustment Micrometer
until the correct measured crimp diameter is achieved.
For example, if there is a 10mm die set in the crimper and the required
crimp diameter is 12.5mm the micrometer would be set to crimp at
10mm + 2.5mm or 12.5mm.
Note: The number on the Crimp Adjustment Micrometer
may not agree with the hose manufacturers specication
at this point.
• If necessary, loosen the set screw on the knob with a .050 hex key
wrench and rotate the knob until the setting on the knob matches the
actual diameter of the nished crimp.
• Tighten the set screw
• Calibration is now complete

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: CRIMP DIAMETER TOO LARGE
• Check crimper calibration and recalibrate if required.
• 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.
• Incorrect setting of the micrometer. Check hose manufacturer’s specications.
• 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.
• Inadequate lubrication of the master dies causing the pump to work harder than normal to reach the required diam-
eter.
• Inadequate pressure being generated by the pump. This is most likely if the crimper can crimp the smaller size
hoses and not the larger hoses. When correctly adjusted, the pump should generate approximately 5000 psi.
Do Not adjust pump to produce in excess of 5000 psi as damage to components or personal injury
could result
• No pressure being generated by the pump. There should be a denite change in pitch of the pump as it cycles into
high pressure mode and begins to “work” harder.
PROBLEM: CRIMP DIAMETER TOO SMALL
• Check crimp diameter and recalibrate if necessary.
• Incorrect die being used (See die range under Crimp Diameter Too Large).
• Incorrect setting of the micrometer. Check hose manufacturer’s specications.
