Carefully read and understand the following warnings before operating this crimper.
WARNING!
An incorrect hose assembly can rupture or blow apart in use, resulting in serious injury,
death, or property damage. REMEMBER: Others depend on you to make correct
assemblies.
FOR SAFETY’S SAKE
USE THIS MACHINE ONLY IF YOU:
1. Receive hands-on TRAINING with this Gates crimper and assemblies.
2. Follow current GATES OPERATING MANUAL and CRIMP DATA for the GC96
crimper.
3. Wear SAFETY GLASSES.
4. Keep hands clear of moving parts.
NOTE ON OPERATING TEMPERATURE:
The GC96 crimper has been designed to operate in a 32 ° F to 122 ° F (0C to 50C)
ambient temperature range and stored in a -4 °F to 122°F (-20C to 50C) ambient
temperature range . It is also important that the crimper should be acclimated after
delivery in its work facility for 24 hours prior to use. If the crimper isn’t acclimated or the
crimper is stored or operated outside the indicated temperature range it is possible that
there may be oil leakage at the kickers. Additionally, if the correct breather assembly
isn’t installed, oil droplets may form at the oil level sight glass, around the shipping cap/
breather assembly and at the reservoir deck plate. If either of these conditions occurs,
the operator should wipe off these surfaces and replace the shipping cap with the
breather assembly, if necessary. The crimper will then operate normally.

9/5/2007 2
NOTE ON POWER SOURCE:
The GC96 has been designed to accept power from 20amp 220-250VAC outlets.
Power regulated and not exceeding these specifications will allow your GC96 crimper to
operate without any electrical fault.
Supply Voltages exceeding this specification will cause damage to your crimper. Poorly
regulated power in some areas can easily fluctuate outside of the crimper inverter
range.
To insure long lasting use of the GC96 crimper it is important that a certified
electrician qualify that the supply voltage is within the specified voltage range and
will not be exceeded in that region. If the certified electrician determines that the
electricity is poorly regulated in your area, steps must be taken to alleviate the problem
prior to operation of the GC96 crimper.

Setup
1. Unpack carton.
Remove crimper from shipping container by removing bolts connected through the
pallet. Using the included nylon slings and an engine hoist, or similar piece of
equipment, suspend crimper and pull crimper from crate.
▲ WARNING:
Crimper is very top heavy (approximately 804 lbs.).
•Follow correct set-up procedure as shown in supplied CD.
•Failure to follow proper procedures can create risk of severe injury and/or
damage to crimper.
•DO NOT lift crimper by head. Use lifting anchors on crimper base. (See
photos below.)
Locate serial number assigned to crimper on rear reservoir base and record on Page 1
for future reference.
Attach crimper to optional secured stand or bench.
▲ WARNING:
•DO NOT mount crimper directly on casters!
•Crimper is top heavy! Crimper MUST BE bolted to optional stand or a
secured bench capable of supporting 804 lbs.
Place crimper on stand bolted to floor or on a secured bench capable of supporting over
804 lbs. The proper bench height is approximately 32".
Position crimper so operator may feed hose assemblies into the rear or front of crimper
head. If using the stand, bolt crimper using the four 6mm Allen head bolts (included)
through predrilled holes. If mounting to a bench, drill four ½” holes aligning with holes
in crimper and bolt together.

2. Fill crimper with oil unless oil already filled (check sight glass on
front of reservoir)
Remove the shipping cap / breather assembly behind the crimper head. Fill the GC96
with 12 gallons (45 liters) of AW46 oil.
The GC96 crimper has been designed to operate in a 32 ° F to 122 ° F (0C to 50C)
ambient temperature range with AW46 oil.
NOTE- If the GC96 crimper has been stored below -4 °F ambient temperature, the
crimper should be acclimated after delivery to its work facility for 24 hours prior to use. If
the crimper isn’t acclimated or the crimper is stored or operated outside the indicated
temperature range, 32 ° F to 122 ° F (0C to 50C) operating and -4 °F to 122°F (-20C to
50C) for storage, it is possible that there may be oil leakage at the kickers.
Additionally, if the correct breather assembly isn’t installed, oil droplets may form at the
oil level sight glass, around the shipping cap/ breather assembly and at the reservoir
deck plate. If either of these conditions occurs, the operator should wipe off these
surfaces and replace the shipping cap with the breather assembly, if necessary. The
crimper will then operate normally.

3. Install power cord plug.
The crimper is equipped with an I nverter which allows the
machine to run from any 20amp 220-250VAC outlet. The crimper
also is equipped with a NEMA L6-20 power cord plug.
▲ WARNING:
•Have a qualified electrician install the correct NEMA L6-20 outlet for your
power supply.
•Incorrect electrical connection can cause damage to component or an
electrical hazard for personnel.
NOTE: Incorrect power cord installation will void your equipment warranty.
Turn power switch on. It will take several seconds (approx. 120 sec.) for the TOUCH
SCREEN control panel to boot up and show the CRIMP SCREEN. Once the CRIMP
SCREEN is showing Press the CRIMP button to check the pump motor operates. If
motor is not operating contact your local Gates supplier.
4. Install foot pedal.
This crimper can also be activated by using a foot pedal. The foot pedal
has an auto retract feature and is activated after the head gets to crimp
diameter. The protective metal case surrounding the pedal will avoid
accidental activation. Install foot pedal by plugging it into the lower right
side control panel.
5. Position control panel to a comfortable working position.
The control panel can be rotated to a position that is more accessible depending on
where the operator is working. Loosening the locking handle located to the left of the
control panel will allow panel to pivot approximately 90 degrees left or right.
6. Lubricate die shoe grease fittings.
Press and hold top CRIMP button and cycle head to fully closed position or until grease
fittings are exposed.

9/5/2007 6
Turn power switch off. Using grease gun, grease front (16) die shoe grease fittings until
grease appears between die and die cone surface (approx 1 ½ pumps). Cycle crimper 5
times (alternate between top CRIMP button and bottom RETRACT button, or actuate
with foot peddle) to distribute grease evenly.
Lubrication should be done whenever the sliding surfaces of the die cone get shiny or
about every 250 crimps.
7. Install die set.
Refer to the Using GC96 and GC32 series die sets section for instructions on
installing the desired die set
8. Calibration
Before crimping a hose assembly, check calibration. Calibration is the proper
relationship between a setting and the crimp diameter. It should be checked only if you
find the crimp measurements are no longer within Gates crimping specifications or new
parts have replaced old parts on the crimper or if crimper has been used heavily or
abused. Calibration should be used if a large discrepancy, greater then the Gates
specified tolerance range of +/- 0.010.
For the GC96 there are two possible methods to field calibrate the crimper.
1- Calibration with the GC32-33 die and the GC96 Spacer die set.
A. Install the GC96 spacer die set using the die removal tool (Prod. No 7482-9181).
B. Press OPTIONS then TOOLS on the TOUCH SCREEN control panel. Press Die
CNG to adjust the crimper head to accept the GC32 Quick Change Tool.
C. Load the GC32-33 die set using the Quick Change Tool.
D. Set the Set Point Value to 1.15.
E. While holding the thread end of an 8G MegaCrimp® coupling, insert coupling into
crimper so that ferrule is 1/8” from front edge of die shoe.
F. Press and hold top blue CRIMP button. Crimper will close down to position
defined by the Set Point Value. Once it reaches that position, crimper will
automatically shut off.
NOTE: CRIMP button and foot pedal operate on a “dead man” control. It only operates
as long as you depress the CRIMP button or hold foot pedal down. It stops immediately
when switch is released.

Hose Preparation
1. Cut hose end square and clean any debris from tube interior.
2. Bend grounding wire, if present, inside of hose; extending wire approximately
½” (12.7 mm)
3. Measure outer diameter of hose with PI tape.
4. Based on hose outer diameter, select the proper ferrule. Mark a line on the
hose cover at the distance from the end of the hose that equals the insertion
depth. This becomes a visual check to determine if the hose is fully bottomed
into the fitting.
5. Slide the ferrule over the stem collar. If the ferrule has flats, be sure they line
up with the flats on the hose collar.
6. Lubrication should only be used if necessary.
7. Insert the stem into the hose squarely without causing damage to the tube.
Operating Instruction
1. Plug in and turn power switch on.
2. Select correct die set.
Using Gates GC96 Crimp Data Sheets, select correct die set for the hose and coupling
being crimped.
3. Load die set.
Refer to the section Using GC96 and GC32 series die sets.To install the GC96 series
large bore and GC96 spacer dies pull back on each spring-loaded locking pin on the
crimper head with the die release tool. Slide each large bore or spacer die pin in each
crimper shoe hole with the die brand (or part number) facing toward the operator.
Release each locking pin after the die pin is installed.
If the spacer dies are installed, the Gates standard GC32 series die sets can be
installed using the Gates GC32 QCT.
4. Select correct setting.
•Reference the GC96 Crimp Data Sheets.
•If crimping large diameter hose with control panel settings based on hose
diameter, measure the outside diameter of the hose with a pi tape.
•Select the approximate control panel setting for the specific hose/coupling
combinations.
•Enter this setting into the control panel.

9/5/2007 15
▲ WARNING:
Improperly made assemblies could result in blowing the hose out of the fittings at
high pressure, risk of fire and/or serious injury or death.
•Crimp MUST MEET specified crimp diameter. All settings are approximate!
•Machine tolerances exist for each crimper, die set and supporting piece of
equipment, which will affect your actual crimp setting.
•ALWAYS check the crimp diameter to ensure that it is within published
limits.
5. Set RETRACT TIME if necessary.
The RETRACT TIME can be adjusted to control the final die shoe position after
crimping.
•Place an uncrimped coupling in front of the crimper mouth.
•Adjust the RETRACT TIME using the slider on the CRIMP SCREEN.
•Press and hold bottom RETRACT button until mouth clears coupling.
6. Install assembly into crimper head.
•Insert straight assemblies through either the front or back of crimper head. If a
bent tube is being crimped, it must be crimped by loading assembly from the rear
of crimper.
•Jog crimp dies until they just contact the ferrule. Be sure the ferrule and crimp
dies are lined up properly to achieve proper crimp length.
7. Begin the crimp.
•Press and hold top CRIMP button or foot pedal.
•When crimping a two-piece coupling as soon as the die fingers contact the
ferrule, pull slightly on the hose assembly.That ensures the ferrule-locking collar
is properly located over the stem locking groove.
•Crimper will close to the position selected for the SET POINT VALUE. Once it
reaches that position, the crimper stops automatically.
•Press and hold the RETRACT button until the assembly can be removed.
•Crimp is now complete.
NOTE: While in CRIMP mode, the CRIMP button and foot pedal operate on a “dead
man” control. They only operate as long as they are depressed. The crimper stops
immediately when button or pedal is released. Press the RETRACT button to retract. If
using the foot pedal, when the crimper reaches the crimp setting, the crimper switches
to retract. The crimper will then automatically open to the RETRACT position as long as
the foot pedal is depressed.

9/5/2007 16
▲ WARNING:
To prevent serious injury:
•Keep away from all moving parts! If bodily contact should occur with a
moving part, immediately release CRIMP button or foot pedal.
•Do not operate crimper with hand, fingers, or any body part in crimper mouth.
Serious injury can occur.
•Keep additional personnel away from crimper while operating.
8. Remove hose assembly.
9. Unload die set.
Refer to the section Using GC96 and GC32 series die sets.
If the spacer dies are installed and a Gates standard GC32 die was used for crimping,
the Gates standard GC32 series die sets can be removed using the Gates GC32 QCT.
To remove the dies, place a hand under the desired shoe to remove. Pull the
corresponding die shoe locking pin out with the Die Removal Tool and catch the die
finger. Set the die finger aside.
Measuring and Adjusting Crimp Diameters
▲ WARNING:
Protect the safety of people using your assemblies! Your measured crimp
diameters MUST be in tolerance range as listed in the Crimp Data Manual.
NOTE: DO NOT measure on top of part number stamps or ridges.
1. Measure crimp diameter.
•Measure halfway between ridges. (Fig. 1) To be sure crimp diameter is being
properly measured, mark a crimp flat. Beginning with that flat, count 4 flats to get
the diameter. Be sure caliper fingers DO NOT touch ridges or part number
stamps. (See Photo 3.)
•Measure halfway between the ends of the crimped portion of the ferrule. (Fig. 2)

9/5/2007 17
2. Check crimp diameter.
•The measured crimp diameter must be within 0.010” of the published crimp
diameter.
•If the measured crimp diameter is too large, re-crimp to proper crimp diameter. If
it is too small then discard.
3. Adjust the crimp diameter (if necessary).
•If crimp diameter is not within specified crimp tolerance, an adjustment to the
crimp set point value needs to be made.
•To obtain a smaller crimp diameter, change Set Point Value to a smaller
number.
•To get a larger crimp diameter, change Set Point Value to a larger number.
Changing the Set Point Value by approximately .02 will change crimp diameter
.001”.
•After the correct diameter is achieved, record this new setting in your crimp data
manual for future reference.
Maintenance
This crimper requires minimal maintenance. However, the following practices are
recommended to ensure maximum reliability and service.
Lubrication
Lubricate sliding surfaces of die cone whenever they become shiny or approximately
every 250 crimp cycles. Use Lubrimatic Moly EP Grease or equivalent.
•Press CRIMP button to close crimper mouth and expose grease fittings.
•Shut power switch off.
•Using grease gun, grease through both front and back die shoe grease fittings
until grease appears on die cone surface.
•Operate crimper through a full CRIMP and RETRACT cycle 5 times to distribute
grease evenly.
Check oil level.
•Check hydraulic oil level in pump reservoir after every 10 hours of use.
•Hydraulic oil should be visible in sight glass. To check oil level, push CRIMP
button to fully close crimp head. If oil level drops below the site glass, oil is
needed.
•Add Tellus AW 46 (Grade 46) hydraulic oil or equivalent.

9/5/2007 18

(NOTE: Frequency depends on the pump’s general working conditions, severity of use,
and overall cleanliness.)
•For general shop conditions, change oil every 300 hours.
•Drain, clean and refill reservoir with Tellus AW 46 or equivalent
Foam Filler Pads
Check every 1000 crimps. If foam pad does not fill space between die shoes, order
new set and install.
▲ WARNING:
•Avoid electrical shock or hydraulic related injury!
•Disconnect crimper from power source before removing control panel or
touch screen, loosening hydraulic tubing or removing any components.
