INITIAL SET UP
FOLLOW THESE STEPS BEFORE YOU USE THE CRIMPER
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
• Mount the crimper on a sturdy workbench in a well-lit area. Work-
bench should be able to support the crimper and components weight.
Note: The D105-T420 series crimper can be mounted on the D-Series
Drawer/Stand and bolted onto the workbench. (See detailed instruc-
tions included with D-Series 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 D105-T420 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.
• Check to be certain that the shipping plug in the pump reservoir
has been replaced with the vent plug shipped with the D105-T420
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 D105-T420 crimper directly into a 110 volt, 15 amp wall
outlet.
Note: The optional 220 volts / 2HP unit must be connected to a 220
volts 20 amp wall outlet.

LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
Photo # 1
Photo # 2
Photo # 3
Grease Point # 1
Apply a thin layer of CrimpX oil (supplied with the
crimper), or a molybdenum disulfide high pressure
grease on the surface of the cone base.
(as shown in photo # 1).
Grease Point # 2
Before sliding the standard pressure plate (or the notched
pressure plate) over the correct dies, apply a thin layer of
CrimpX oil (supplied with the crimper), or a molybdenum
disulfide high pressure grease, on the entire area that the
dies come in contact with (as shown in photo # 2).
If Dies are sticking in the cone base: Continue to lubricate
/ grease as explained above, in addition to lubricating each
die finger individually (as shown in photo # 3).
Note: The die fingers must be lubricated at both positions
that come in contact with the pressure plate and the
cone base.
Note: Lubrication is not required before each crimp.
Typical lubrication is after 100 crimps.
Notched Pressure Plate:
For use with 90 degree fitting only.

D105-T420 SERIES Service Hose Crimpers

Note: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to crimping procedure.
CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the die set and T420 pressure plate
could result in the die seizing in the cone base.
Step 1: Make certain that the Cone Base is clean and lubricated prior
to inserting the die set.
Step 2: Select the Correct Die Set for the combination of hose and
fitting being crimped.
Note: Consult your hose and fitting manufacturer for the correct die size
for the combination of hose and fitting being crimped.
Note: The number etched on the OD of the die ring represents the fully
closed diameter of the die set in millimeters. In addition, rubber caged
die sets are color-coded for easier identification.
Step 3: Lubricate the contact surfaces, both the top and the outside
edges of the die fingers, with CrimpX oil (supplied with the crimper), or
a molybdenum disulfide high pressure grease.
Failuretolubricatethecontact surfaces withthecorrectlubricant
will cause the dies to seize in the cone base, causing damage
to the die set as well as possibly damaging the crimper.

Step 4: Place the Lubricated Die Set squarely in the cone base.
Note: Make sure the split of the die cages is facing the operator.
(as shown).
Step 6: Place the Lubricated Standard Pressure Plate over the die set.
Step 5: Align the fitting in the die set according to the hose and fitting
manufacturer’s recommendation.
Note: Compress the die set by hand to hold the hose and fitting in place.

Note: Make sure the pusher is positioned correctly as shown.
Step 7: Slide the Pusher onto the pusher retaining ring on the hydraulic
cylinder.
Note: Make sure slot in pusher goes over lip on pusher retaining ring.
CAUTION: Damage to pusher and retaining ring can occur if misaligned.

Step 8: Set the Micro-Crimp Adjuster to the setting recommended by
the hose and fitting manufacturer for the combination of hose and fitting
being crimped.
NOTE: The T420 Micro-Crimp Adjuster is a direct reading
micrometer. Add the setting on the micrometer to the closed
diameter of the die set to obtain the finished crimp diameter.
For example: With a 23mm die set and the Micro-Crimp Adjuster set at
3.0, the finished crimp diameter would be 26.0 mm (23mm + 3.0mm).
Note:Eachdiesethasalimitedrange of diameters for which asatisfactory
crimpcan be obtained.Alwaysconsult your hose andfittingmanufacturer
for the correct die set for the hose and fitting being crimped.
Step 9: Recheck the fitting for the correct alignment in the die set and
depress the start/stop switch.
Depress and hold the Start/Stop switch, until the micrometer touched the
electronic red button as shown, “count one mississippi” the automatic
stop switch will shut the pump off, and the ram will return to the retracted
position. Allow the pusher to return to the retracted position as well.
Step 10: Check the final crimp diameter with calipers to confirm that
it is within manufacturer’s specifications.
Note: Always consult with your hose and fitting manufacturer to obtain
the must current crimp specifications.

Step 2: Place the Lubricated Die Set squarely in the cone base.
Note: Make sure the split of the die cages is facing the operator.
(as shown).
Step 6: Place the Lubricated Notched Pressure Plate over the die set.
Note: The notched pressure plate MUST be covering
all 8 die fingers as shown.
Step 5: Align the 90 degree fitting in the die set according to the hose
and fitting manufacturer’s recommendation.
Note: Compress the die set by hand to hold the hose and fitting in place.

Step 8: After placing the notched pressure plate covering all 8 die
fingers as shown, slide the Pusher onto the pusher retaining ring on
the hydraulic cylinder.
Note: Make sure the slot in the pusher goes over the lip on the pusher
retaining ring. Refer to page 11 for details if needed.
CAUTION: Damage to the pusher and retaining ring can occur if they
are misaligned.
Note: Recheck that the notched pressure plate is covering all 8 die
fingers.
Step 7: CAUTION: DO NOT MISALIGN NOTCHED
PRESSURE PLATE OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
Note: You MUST follow these steps when crimping
with the notched pressure plate.
A. Die split must face operator.
B. Notched Pressure Plate MUST to cover all 8
die fingers.
Damage can occur to the die fingers if the parts
aren’t aligned properly.

CALIBRATION CHECK PROCEDURE
THE CRIMPER IS CALIBRATED PRIOR TO SHIPMENT, BUT A
CALIBRATION CHECK IS RECOMMENDED PRIOR TO USING
THE CRIMPER FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Note: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to calibration check.
CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the die set and pressure plate could
result in the die seizing in the cone base.
Step 1: Make certain that the Cone Base is clean and lubricated prior to
inserting the die set.
Step 2: Place Any Lubricated Die Set squarely in the cone base.
Note: Make sure the split of the die cages is facing the operator.
(as shown).
Step 3: Place the Lubricated T420 Pressure Plate over the die set.
Note: A hose and fitting are not required for a calibration check.

Step 4: Slide the Pusher onto the pusher retaining ring on the hydraulic
cylinder.
Note: Make sure slot in pusher goes over lip on pusher retaining ring.
Refer to page 12 for details if needed.
CAUTION: Damage to pusher and retaining ring can occur if misaligned.
Step 5: Set the T420 Micro-Crimp Adjuster at “0”.
Step 6: Depress and hold the Start/Stop switch, until the Die set is
completely closed and oil pressure has built up in the hydraulic cylinder.
If the ram extends, the dies are completely closed, the pump builds
pressure (The sound of the pump will change) when the micrometer
touched the electronic red button as shown, “count one mississippi” the
automatic stop switch will shut the pump off, and the ram will return to
the retracted position the crimper is correctly calibrated.
CALIBRATION CHECK PROCEDURE

Step 7: If the above conditions are not met, the crimper requires
recalibration, hold the micrometer barrel with a 5/16 inch open end
wrenchandrotatethestem eitherinoroutwitha5/32 inchhexkeywrench.
Note: 1/4 turn of the screw will change crimp diameter approximately
0.008”.
• Rotating the stem out of the barrel decreases the time required for
the pump to shut off.
• Recheck calibration.
