Safety instructions
!WARNING
Failure to follow Aeroquip process and product instructions and
limitations could lead to premature hose assembly failures, resulting in
property damage, serious injury or death.
Aeroquip fitting tolerances are engineered to match Aeroquip hose
tolerances. The use of Aeroquip fittings on hose supplied by other
manufacturers and/or the use of Aeroquip hose with fittings supplied
by other manufacturers, may result in the production of unreliable and
unsafe hose assemblies and is neither recommended nor authorized by
Aeroquip.
Read and understand the operator’s manual before attempting to
operate any equipment.
Aeroquip hereby disclaims any obligation or liability (including inci-
dental and consequential damages) arising from breach of contract,
warranty, or tort (under negligence or strict liability theories) should
Aeroquip hose, fittings or assembly equipment be used with the hose,
fittings or assembly equipment supplied by another manufacturer, or
in the event that product instructions for each specified hose assembly
are not followed.
1.
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED
OPERATION. Do not permit
anyone to operate this equip-
ment unless they have read
and thoroughly understand
this manual.
2.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
3.
AVOID PINCH POINTS. Do not
rest your hand on the crimp
ring. Keep your hands clear of
all moving parts. Do not allow
anyone, other than the oper-
ator, close to the equipment
while it is in operation.
4.
MAINTAIN DIES WITH CARE.
Dies used in the FT1380 crimp
machine are hardened steel,
offering the best combina-
tion of strength and wear
resistance for long life. Hard-
ened dies are generally brittle
and care should be taken to
avoid any sharp impact. Nev-
er strike a die with a hardened
instrument.
5.
USE ONLY SPECIFIED AERO-
QUIP PRODUCTS. Make
hose assemblies using only
Aeroquip hose and fittings
specified for this assembly
equipment.
6.
VERIFY CORRECT CRIMP
DIAMETERS. Check and verify
correct crimp diameters of all
fittings after crimping. Do not
put any hose assemblies into
service if the crimp diameters
do not meet Aeroquip crimp
specifications.
7.
Make sure all dies are com-
pletely in place and the cage
is positioned properly on the
pressure plate.
8.
DO NOT OVER PRESSURIZE.
Do not exceed the 10,000 psi
hydraulic pressure supplied
to the machine. This setting
is preset at the factory and
should not require adjust-
ment.
NOTE: All components used to
connect the pump and crimp
cylinder must meet the criteria
set forth in the Material Handling
Institute Specification #IJ100 for
hydraulic jacking applications.
9.
DIE CHANGE. Do not insert/
remove dies while the power
is on.
10. SECURE THE EQUIPMENT TO
A STABLE WORK SURFACE.
Prior to operation, secure the
crimp machine to a stable
work surface to prevent the
equipment from tipping.
11. UNPLUG THE POWER SUPPLY
WHEN NOT IN USE.
12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.

Operating Instructions
Loading and Unloading Die Cages
Select proper crimp cage for style and size of desired hose. Refer to
Danfoss PowerSource Crimp Spec Tool at danfoss.com/crimp for com-
plete and detailed crimp specification information for each hose and
fitting style. To load the die cage, extend the crimp ring to its fullest
length by releasing the hydraulic pressure from the power source (Fig-
ure 1). The die cage may be inserted or removed in this position.
Establishing Crimp Setting
The three-digit micrometer display setting determines the crimp
diameter for each combination of hose, fitting and crimp cage. The
three-digit value is not the desired crimp diameter, but rather a setting.
Refer to the table listed in the back of this manual for target settings for
popular MatchMate Plus hoses. These target settings are provided to
aid in establishing actual settings.
The ratio of micrometer display change to crimp diameter change is
approximately 2 to 1. For example, if a fitting is crimped at a microme-
ter display setting of 438, and the crimp diameter is .025 too large, the
micrometer should be increased by 050 ( 2 x .025 ) to 488 in order to
produce the correct crimp diameter.

Crimping Procedures
!WARNING: Maintain clear distance from all moving parts.
Refer to the current Aeroquip Crimp Secifications bulletin for complete
and detailed crimp specification information for each hose and fitting
style.
1. Select and load the proper die cage according to the current Aero-
quip Crimp Specification bulletin.
2. Adjust the micrometer display to the proper setting (see Example).
Target settings for popular MatchMate Plus hoses are listed in the
back of this manual.
3. Position the fitting within the crimp cage according to the cor-
responding figure in the current Aeroquip Crimp Specifications
bulletin (A MatchMate Plus fitting is shown in Figure 2).
4. To crimp fitting, activate hydraulic power source (i.e. hand-pump,
air/hydraulic foot pedal, etc.). The crimp ring will rise until the fitting
is fully crimped.
NOTE: The use of a 10,000 psi hydraulic power source is required to op-
erate the FT1380P crimp machine. If lower rated power units are used,
improper crimping may result.
5. When the fitting is fully crimped, the crimp ring will stop moving,
indicating the crimp operation is complete. Internally, a hydraulic
valve shifts to divert the fluid back to the reservoir. Further pump-
ing will not result in additional crimp stroke.
6. Release the hydraulic pressure on the power source to retract crimp
cage.
7. Verify correct crimp diameter.
Example:
Adjust the micrometer setting to “.300” and start the crimping process.
If the dies crimp the fitting, measure the crimp diameter and INCREASE
the setting by twice the amount that you wish to decrease the crimp
diameter. If the dies do not touch the fitting, increase the microme-
ter setting by .115 to “.415” and try to crimp the fitting again. If that is
still not enough, continue to increase the micrometer setting by .115
increments until the dies make contact with the fitting. Then, measure
the crimp diameter and INCREASE the setting by twice the amount that
you wish to decrease the crimp diameter.
If the micrometer setting of “.415”, using GH793-8 hose with TTC fittings
produces a crimp diameter of 1.124 inches, subtract the crimp specifi-
cation (0.990 inches) from the diameter you measured. (1.124 - 0.990 =
.134). Then add “.268” (.134 x 2 = .268) to the micrometer setting (.415 +
.286 = .683) and change the setting to “.683”. If the crimp diameter is still
too large, repeat this process.

Calibration
!WARNING: Maintain clear distance from all moving parts.
The calibration procedure below will calibrate the Aeroquip ProCrimp
FT1380P crimp machine to the original factory setting. New machines
are calibrated at the factory and will be ready to use out of the crate.
This procedure should be followed if the crimp machine has been
disassembled or has had components replaced. The procedure requires
the use of an FT1380-200-M240 die cage and a 1SB8 socket (or 1A -8
fitting).
1. Loosen the clamp on the micrometer bracket assembly and posi-
tion the end of the bracket 0.250 inches from the top of the crimp
ring. Tighten the clamp to hold the micrometer bracket assembly in
place.
2. Verify that the micrometer is positioned securely inside the bracket
assembly. This can be done by adjusting the cap screw on top of
the bracket assembly. (NOTE: DO NOT overtighten to assure free
movement of the micrometer head.)
3. Insert an FT1380-200-M240 die cage.
4. Adjust the micrometer setting to 0.760.
5. Center a 1 SB8 socket or TTC -8 fitting (without a hose) in the die
cage, holding the socket in place with a pencil or other suitable
tool. Actuate the pump until the crimp ring stops advancing, indi-
cating a complete cycle. Relieve the pressure on the pump, and the
crimp ring will retract.
NOTE:When using an air/oil pump, fully actuate the switch during
the crimp cycle. Actuating the switch part way will cause a variation in
crimp diameter.
6. Using a set of calipers, measure the crimp diameter. The preferred
method is to use the average of the four pairs of indentations.
7. The correct crimp diameter is 1 .000±0.003 inches. If the mea-
sured crimp diameter does not meet this specification, refer
to Table A for the new distance to set the micrometer bracket
assembly from the top of the crimp ring (Bracket to Ring Gap) and
repeat steps 1, 5 and 6.
NOTE:If your Crimp Diameter falls between the numbers shown
in Table A, simply determine or interpolate the Bracket to Ring Gap,
since the relationship between the numbers is linear.

Maintenance Intervals Maintenance Procedures
Die Cage Lubrication
Every 50 crimps Relube sliding surfaces of dies
Every 500 crimps Remove old grease and relube
Every 1000 crimps Die cage maintenance
Crimp Ring Maintenance
Every 500 crimps Remove old grease and relube
Every 2000 crimps Remove old grease, inspect for wear
or damage and relube if okay
Use High Efficiency PTFE Grease (Danfoss part number T-400-G) lubricant
(Aeroquip part number FT1092)
Machine Maintenance Procedures
1. Sliding surfaces must be kept free of dirt and other abrasive materials
2. All exposed black metal surfaces should be coated occasionally with
a light film of oil to prevent corrosion.
3. Periodically check the oil level in the fluid reservoir of the hydraulic
power unit. Maintain the oil level of according to the indicator on top
of the reservoir. Add pump manufacturer’s hydraulic oil as needed.
NOTE: Completely retract the crimp ring when checking the oil level.
Die Cage Maintenance Procedures
1. Lubricate the die cage. For maximum service, FT1380 die cages
require lubrication at 50-crimp intervals with High Efficiency PTFE
Grease (Danfoss part number T-400-G) (Aeroquip part number
FT1092). FT1092 is an 8-ounce container that will provide sufficient
lubricant for about 5,000 crimps.
Periodically remove High Efficiency PTFE Grease (Danfoss part num-
ber T-400-G) residue that has built-up on the sides of the dies and the
crimp ring during the crimping process. High Efficiency PTFE Grease
(Danfoss part number T-400-G) residue becomes contaminated with
metal and plating chips and airborne contaminants, which can cause
pre mature wear of the dies and crimp ring. It should carefully be
removed without mixing it with newly applied High Efficiency PTFE
Grease (Danfoss part number T-400-G).
2. Die Cage maintenance should be performed at 1000-crimp intervals
or every six months, which ever occurs first. Die cages should be
clean of grease and debris and inspected for worn or damaged com-
ponents.
a. The sliding surface of the dies should appear smooth with no
apparent galling. Galled dies must be replaced. Individual dies
in a cage can be replaced without replacing all eight dies.
b. Replace springs that show any sign of damage or collapse (are
shorter than other springs).
c The spring plate should appear smooth with no apparent
galling. Galled spring plates must be replaced.
d. Inspect remaining components and replace those that are
badly worn.
Reassemble components and liberally apply High Efficiency PTFE Grease
(Danfoss part number T-400-G) to the die surface which slides along the
spring plate. Torque the die cage bolts to 50 in. -lbs.
Ensure that all dies slide in and out freely.
