L = 350 cm, W = 150 cm, H = 250 cm
Size of the package, hydraulic unit:
L = 150 cm, W = 150 cm, H = 120 cm
STORAGE
The manufacturer has protected the machine
against corrosion by using the Zerust method.
The machined parts have been treated with
Perigol 100 protective agent. A Zerust vapor
capsule has been put into the electric box, and
the machine has been packed into a bag made
of Zerust film.
The protection is effective for months if the
package is not opened. After opening it, the
protection of the wrapping film ceases. If the machine is not yet brought into use, it must be re-protected
against corrosion. The machine is to be stored in dry indoor conditions.
Remove the protective agent according to the instructions enclosed in the package.
MOUNTING

WARNINGS
GENERAL
Use only original Lillbacka Engineered Finn-Power die sets in your Finn-Power crimping
machines. Installing and using third party die sets are voiding any warranties, and all liability what so ever
nature is rejected. Using third party dies sets will be done solely on users own risk and recourse.
Read the instructions thoroughly to secure safe and correct operation of the machine.
The machine is intended for professional use. It is to be operated only by a trained operator who has
understood the dangers involved in the operation.
Openings between the dies exceed 6 mm, thus being large enough to let fingers go between the dies and
get crimped. It is, therefore, ABSOLUTELY necessary to follow operating instructions and warnings
indicated by the stickers on the machine when changing dies and crimping fittings.
The cover and protection plates protect the operator from crimping-and other possible hazards.
Do not remove the plates when operating the machine!
Test the function of the emergency stop push buttons every day!
Mount the machine in a location that gives enough working space, 900 mm (3 ft) round the machine. The
sufficient lightning in machine surroundings is also needed to ensure safe working.

COMMISSIONING
CONNECTING HOSES AND CABLES
The crimping unit and the hydraulic unit are delivered in separate containers. After unpacking, connect the
hydraulic hoses and the electric cable to the hydraulic unit:
•Open the maintenance cover of the hydraulic unit.
•Connect the quick couplings of the hydraulic hoses together. Each quick coupling is of a different
size and cannot be connected incorrectly.
•The electric cables are connected to the fittings on back side of the electric box. Fittings are marked
with J1 and J21
•Shut the maintenance cover.
OIL FILL
Fill the oil tank to centre line of the oil level sight glass in the side plate with hydraulic oil like Shell Tellus T
46 or equivalent. Volume of the tank is approx. 250 litres. It is recommended to pump the oil into the tank
through a 20 µ filter, because new oil in drums is not pure. See also chapter Oil change.
Page 9
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
CAUTION! Check that the machine voltage (see type plate) is equal to your supply voltage. For
proper installation to local code, consult a licensed contractor.
Open the maintenance cover of the hydraulic unit.
Bring the supply cable through the hole on lower edge ofsafety net and guide it through the hole on the
back side of the electric box. Secure the cable with a stress relief plug. The minimum size for the cable:
King Crimper
Voltage Cable
400 V 6 mm2 (AWG 12)
230 V 16 mm2 (AWG 6)
Connect the phase conductors to the respective L1, L2 and L3 terminals in the supply disconnecting device.
Connect the earth connection to the ground terminal on the fixing plate. Check the connection against the
wiring diagram enclosed in the spare parts list.
Check that the motor rotation is parallel with the arrow on the motor. In case the motor rotates in wrong
direction, two phase conductors in the supply disconnecting device must be interchanged.
TEST RUN
•To avoid accidents, make sure that there are no foreign objects between the dies.
•Start the machine by turning the supply disconnecting device.
•Switch on the control by pushing the Power on button. NOTE! The motor gets started when the Crimping
button is pressed or some automatic mode is used.
•Check the correct motor rotation.
•Adjust the crimping diameter to 10.0 and the retraction to the maximum value.
•During the first crimping cycles air in the cylinders may make the piston/dies move irregularly and at high
speed. Open and close the dies a few times till the motion becomes even.
•In case the dies do not move in either direction, the motor rotates in wrong direction. The fault is
corrected by interchanging two phase conductors in the supply disconnecting device. Requires an
electrician.
•Test the function of emergency push buttons. Testing has to be done daily.
•Check the possible leakings.
GREASING
The master dies of the machine has
been greased at the factory after the final
testing. However, the grease may have
dried during the transportation and
storing and therefore the machine should
be greased according to the operating
instructions before commissioning.
Greasing of the master dies is an
important maintenance procedure which
should be made regularly. The adverse
working environment and crimping
volume have a special effect on the need
for maintenance.
Preventive maintenance and proper use
help to ensure trouble-free operation of
the machine.

THE DIE SETS
Use only original Finn-Power die sets in Finn-Power crimping machines.
King Crimper crimping machines are designed for crimping large fittings by using special dies. Also FP170
special dies can be used. For FP170 special die sets, adapter dies (1) must be installed in the machine's
master dies (2).
INSTALLING THE ADAPTER DIES
Prior to installing dies, clean the contact surfaces
of the die set and the master dies properly.
•Open the dies.
•Stop the motor from the stop button.
CAUTION! THE MOTOR SHALL
ALWAYS BE STOPPED DURING
INSTALLATION OF DIES.
•Loosen the screw (3) in the master die.
CAUTION! BEWARE OF
DROPPING THE ADAPTER DIE OR
SPECIAL DIE WHEN LOOSENING THE
SCREW.
•Hold the adapter die so that its screw is

INSTALLING THE SPECIAL DIES
Special dies are installed like adapter dies.
Page 14
FP170 SPECIAL DIES
FP170 special die sets are attached to the adapter dies. Special die sets for crimping range 205…320 mm
are manufactured according to customer’s dimensions D and L.
D L Die Set No Crimping range
205 220 405060/205 205...220 mm
220 220 405060/220 220...235 mm

250 220 405060/250 250...270 mm
270 220 405060/270 270...290 mm
290 220 405060/290 290...320 mm
SETTING THE CRIMPING DIAMETER
•While the crimping diameter display is surrounded by the cursor, activate it by pressing SET.
•Select the desired crimping diameter by turning the selector and press SET.
•Check the die set used and change it if need be.
•When required, set the retraction diameter in the same way.
The machine has been calibrated at the factory with 40 bar pressure. This means that when you are
crimping a fitting requiring 40 bar pressure, the measuring scale of the crimping diameter dial provides an
accuracy of +/-0.1 mm (possible elastic recovery of the fitting not regarded).
When fittings requiring higher pressure are crimped, the crimping diameter may become larger than the
value on the scale due to machine deflections. Then the crimping diameter has to be corrected using the
correction function.
See also the UC control operating instructions.
Insert the fitting between the dies so that the crimping
force is divided equally on the ferrule.

CRIMPING
CAUTION! WHEN CRIMPING A FITTING, HOLD THE HOSE FAR ENOUGH TO AVOID
CRIMPING YOUR HAND!
1. Select the crimping mode.
2. Press the start button.
3. Adjust the recommended crimping diameter.
4. Press the crimping button until the dies hold the fitting
lightly.
5. Adjust the retraction diameter when required.
6. Press the crimping button until the dies stop.
7. Open the dies and remove the fitting.
8. Check the crimping diameter.
See also the UC control operating instructions.
FINAL DECELERATION
To improve the crimping result, King Crimper machines are
equipped with a slow down of 3mm at the end of the crimp. The slow down has been set at the factory and
cannot be altered by the operator. For heavier fittings the machine has a pressure valve and a pressure
switch to turn the deceleration on at a pressure of approx.40 bar.
The slow down is activated either 3mm before the set crimping diameter or at a pressure of approx 40 bar,
depending on which one is reached first. The deceleration function is fully automatic.
IF THE MACHINE DOES NOT WORK…
If the motor doesn’t start up
1. Check that the motor circuit breaker is on position 1.
2. If the problem is not disappearing, contact the service.
If the motor starts up but the dies don’t move
1. Make sure that the UC control is in manual mode.
2. Check the rotation of the motor.
3. Check the oil level.
4. Check that the dies are not already in close-or retraction position.
If the machine leaks oil
1. A new machine might leak asmall amount of rust protection oil under the cylinder or under the
machine.
2. When the machine has been filled up with oil, some oil might have leaked inside the machine
and then slowly under the machine.
3. If the machine is in continuous use, some oil (0,1dl) might pass the seals and leak under the
cylinder when the machine is stopped or when changing the die sets.
If the machine’s power is not enough
1. The lack of power might be caused by dry sliding surfaces. Grease the machine.
2. Check that the coupling or the piece you are crimping is the size that the machine can crimp.
The machine’s pressure relief valve opens and the dies stop when the maximum power of the
machine has been reached.
3. If the dies open up in normal speed but close slower and the machine is lacking crimping
power, there is dirt in the hydraulic system which causes a leak in the valve. Contact the
service.
4. The pressure relief valve of the machine has been adjusted at the factory. Do not open or
adjust this valve in any way. If you suspect that the valve is not working properly, contact the
seller of the machine.
5. Make sure that there is oil enough in the tank.
If you contact the manufacturer or the distributor about the operating or service-problems, remember to give
your crimping machine’s serial number and the type of the control.
