GENERAL
Finn-Power crimping machines are electrically operated hydraulic crimping machines for hydraulic hose
assemblies.
The crimping machine comprises a crimping head and a hydraulic unit mounted on the oil tank which
serves as machine frame.
Finn-Power crimping machine is normally delivered with a 3-phase electric motor. On request it can be
equipped with a single phase motor.
TRANSPORT
The packed machine is transported on a pallet, which is
easy to move and lift by a fork-lift truck. After unpacking,
the machine can be lifted using a hoisting belt.
Size of package: x = 82, y = 102, z = 113 cm.
STORAGE
The manufacturer has protected the machine against corrosion by using the Zerust method. The
machined parts have been treated withPerigol 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 reprotected against corrosion.
The machine is to be stored in dry indoor conditions. Storage temperature above 0°C.
Remove the protective agent according to the instructions enclosed in the package.
MOUNTING
The adjacent picture shows an appropriate way to lift
the machine after it has been unpacked.
It is recommended to mount the machine on a Finn-
Power table. Before mounting, the table must be
screwed on the floor with four M12 wedge anchors.
Boreholes in the floor: Ø 12 mm, depth 55 mm.
When the machine is mounted on a Finn-Power table,
the four shoes under the machine are removed.
The table with assembly instructions is packed
separately.
The crimper may be installed on some other table as
well, provided it is sturdy and broad enough or it has
been fastened on the floor so that it cannot fall over.
Furthermore, there must be a hole in the table to
enable emptying the oil tank through the drain plug.
x = 625 mm, y = 560 mm.

HELP PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT
DISPOSAL OF THE PACKING MATERIAL
The transport and protective packing is mostly manufactured from the recycled or recyclable materials.
Please check local environmental regulations before disposing of packing materials. Rather than
throwing these materials away, please take them to your community recycling centre.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD MACHINE
Old machines contain materials which can be recycled. Please contact your recycling centreof scrap
merchant before discarding the appliance.
Handle the waste oil and filters according to law.
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.
It is recommended to use appropriate protective eyewear, gloves and safety shoes
during operation and maintenance.
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.

WARNING 1
Do not put your hands inside the dies
while the motor is running!
WARNING 2
When crimping a fitting, hold the hose
far enough to avoid crimping your hand!
WARNING 3
Dies open and close by depressing the
hand emergency push-
buttons at both
ends of the valve. Do not touch these
push-buttons during normal operation!
WARNING 4
High voltage. The electric box can be
opened only by professional electrician!

COMMISSIONING
OIL FILL
Fill the oil tank to centre line of the indicators in the dipstick with hydraulic oil like Shell Tellus T46 or
equivalent. Volume of the tank is 50 litres.
It is recommended to pump the oil into the tank through a 20 µfilter, because new oil in drums mightnot
be pure.
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.
Bring the supply cable in through the hole in the side panel of the electric box. Secure the cable with a
stress relief plug.
3-phase: 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 tank close to the motor. In case the motor
rotates in wrong direction, two phase conductors in the supply disconnecting device must be
interchanged.
1-phase: Connect the phase and the neutral to the respective 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.
RUNNING IN
Recommended running in period for a new machine is 50 000 crimps. It will be enough if the greasing
cycle is halved during the running in period. The purpose of frequent greasing is to ensure that there is
always grease enough between the sliding surfaces. Due to the surface pressure the grease sinks in to
the metal pores ensuring good sliding properties for the machine’s lifetime.
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. It is recommended
to grease the machine after every 2000
crimps, except during the running in period
when the greasing should be done after every
1000 crimps.
QUICK FIX-PACKAGE
Included with the machine, there is a Quick Fix-package which has some basic parts for that machine
model.

INSTALLING THE DIE SET
QUICK CHANGE
(OPTION)
An optional Quick Change Tool Base enables storing die sets under the machine. Die sets can be
installed into the master dies with a quick change tool one set at a time.
•Before installing dies, make sure that the master dies are clean.
STOP THE MOTOR PRIOR TO CLEANING DIES.
•Open the dies to maximum retraction.
•Insert the pins of the tool into the die set in the die table, turn the tool clockwise and pull the whole
set out (Fig. 1).
•Hold the handle of the quick change tool as shown in figures 1 and 2, and make sure your hand will
not get between the dies.
•Mount the die set between master dies (Fig. 2) and start closing the dies.
TO AVOID DAMAGING MASTER DIES, MAKE SURE THAT ALL DIE SET PINS HIT IN THEIR
HOLES.
•Close the master dies completely until the pins are locked in their places (Fig. 3).
•Remove the tool (Fig. 4).Open the dies to the retraction position.The dies are now ready for use
•Die set is removed from the master dies in reverse order: close the dies, insert the tool into the die
set, open the master dies and place the set back in the die table.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
Fig. 4
CHANGE OF A SINGLE DIE
•Start the motor and depress the retraction button until maximum
retraction is reached. Stop the motor.
CAUTION! THE MOTOR SHALL ALWAYS BE
STOPPED DURING INSTALLATION OF DIES.
•Prior to installing dies, clean the contact surface of both the die
set and master dies properly to avoid damaging the surfaces.
•Insert the die with the die set pin into the master die, die number
always towards you.
•After installing all the dies, make sure they are straight and
properly seated in the master dies.
•Remove the die by turning it round the die set pin and pulling it
parallel to the die set pin, so that the die set pin comes out of the hole.
13
SETTING THE CRIMPING DIAMETER
From the crimping diameter chart on the electric box door you can see the die set numbers and the
corresponding crimping ranges. The upper section of the chart shows the corresponding dial position
for each crimping diameter in the columns.
Crimping diameters in the grey zone of the chart are not recommended.
The crimping diameter dial has been calibrated at the factory so that when the dial is set at 0.0, the
resulting diameter will be the minimum diameter of the die set installed, i.e. with die set No 20-16 the
crimping diameter will be 16 mm, No 20-19 gives a diameter of 19 mm etc. Each full turn clockwise of
the adjusting knob of the dial will add 1 mm to the crimping diameter. Each division on the measuring
scale corresponds to 1/100 mm.
EXAMPLE:
Manufacturer has specified a crimping
diameter of 20.6 mm for the fitting. Select
die set No 20-19 (min crimping diameter
19 mm) according to the die chart. Turn
the dial to position 1.60 (upper scale 1,
lower 60). This setting will give the
crimping diameter 20.6 mm (19 + 1.6
mm).
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 by
changing the scale value.
FINAL DECELERATION
To improve the crimping result,the machine is equipped with a slow down of 1...2 mm at the end of
the crimp. The slow down has been set at the factory and cannot be altered by the operator.
OPERATION LIMITATIONS
•The sheerer cone in the master die and
piston is not meant for crimping but only
for achieving a larger opening.
•The allowable crimping range is shown
in the figure.
•Insert the fitting between the dies from
the front side of the machine to enable
crimping between the back of the dies.
Insert also large fittings (that are as long
as dies) from the front side, in which
case the front part of the fitting is settled
between the back of the dies.

TO AVOID DAMAGING MASTER DIES, MAKE SURE THAT ALL DIE SET PINS HIT IN THEIR
HOLES.
•Close the master dies completely until the pins are locked in their places (Fig. 3).
•Remove the tool (Fig. 4).Open the dies to the retraction position.The dies are now ready for use
•Die set is removed from the master dies in reverse order: close the dies, insert the tool into the die
set, open the master dies and place the set back in the die table.

CHANGE OF A SINGLE DIE
•Start the motor and depress the retraction button until maximum
retraction is reached. Stop the motor.
CAUTION! THE MOTOR SHALL ALWAYS BE
STOPPED DURING INSTALLATION OF DIES.
•Prior to installing dies, clean the contact surface of both the die
set and master dies properly to avoid damaging the surfaces.
•Insert the die with the die set pin into the master die, die number
always towards you.
•After installing all the dies, make sure they are straight and
properly seated in the master dies.
•Remove the die by turning it round the die set pin and pulling it
parallel to the die set pin, so that the die set pin comes out of the hole.

SETTING THE CRIMPING DIAMETER
From the crimping diameter chart on the electric box door you can see the die set numbers and the
corresponding crimping ranges. The upper section of the chart shows the corresponding dial position
for each crimping diameter in the columns.
Crimping diameters in the grey zone of the chart are not recommended.
The crimping diameter dial has been calibrated at the factory so that when the dial is set at 0.0, the
resulting diameter will be the minimum diameter of the die set installed, i.e. with die set No 20-16 the
crimping diameter will be 16 mm, No 20-19 gives a diameter of 19 mm etc. Each full turn clockwise of
the adjusting knob of the dial will add 1 mm to the crimping diameter. Each division on the measuring
scale corresponds to 1/100 mm.
EXAMPLE:
Manufacturer has specified a crimping
diameter of 20.6 mm for the fitting. Select
die set No 20-19 (min crimping diameter
19 mm) according to the die chart. Turn
the dial to position 1.60 (upper scale 1,
lower 60). This setting will give the
crimping diameter 20.6 mm (19 + 1.6
mm).
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 by
changing the scale value.
FINAL DECELERATION
To improve the crimping result,the machine is equipped with a slow down of 1...2 mm at the end of
the crimp. The slow down has been set at the factory and cannot be altered by the operator.
OPERATION LIMITATIONS
•The sheerer cone in the master die and
piston is not meant for crimping but only
for achieving a larger opening.
•The allowable crimping range is shown
in the figure.
•Insert the fitting between the dies from
the front side of the machine to enable
crimping between the back of the dies.
Insert also large fittings (that are as long
as dies) from the front side, in which
case the front part of the fitting is settled
between the back of the dies.

CRIMPING
WHEN CRIMPING A FITTING, HOLD
THE HOSE FAR ENOUGH TO AVOID
CRIMPING YOUR HAND!
•After installing the proper die set and
adjusting the crimping diameter, insert the
hose and fitting between the dies.
•Depress and hold down the crimping push-
button until the preset diameter has been
reached.
•The crimping movement stops automatically
and light goes on in the crimping push-
button.
•Depress the retraction button and take the
crimped assembly out.
•Check the result and measure the diameter.
If necessary, correct the scale value and
crimp again.
To enable faster crimping and reliable results in
the future, make a chart of the diverse hose/fitting combinations and the corresponding die sets and dial
adjustment values.

IF THE MACHINE DOES NOT WORK…
If the motor doesn’t start up
1. To start up the machine, turn the switch completely to the left (0) and then to the upright
position (I).
2. Make sure that the voltage on the machine plate is the same as the power supply. If not,
please contact the seller of the machine.
3. Check the power supply to the machine: check the power supply cable, contact plug and
wall socket, possible safety or main power switch as well as the fuses outside of the
machine.
4. Open the crimping machine’s electrical cabinet and check the thermal relay.
If the motor starts up but the dies don’t move
1. Check the rotation of the motor.
2. Check the oil level.
3. Check that the measuring device is in its place and the cable is connected.
4. Check that the dies are not already in close-or retraction position.
5. Check that the direction valve gets power (24V). Press the crimping-and retraction buttons,
the lights on the valves should light up at the same time.
If the machine leaks oil
1. A new machine might leak a small 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. The hydraulic
system of the machine has to be cleaned and the valves either cleaned or changed.
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 the above measures do not help or machine with other problems, contact your service
representative.
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.

OIL CHANGE
•Change hydraulic oil after the first 500 hours of
operation and every 1000 hours thereafter.
•Oil tank volume: 50 litres.
•Recommended oil: Shell Tellus T46 or
equivalent.
•Empty the tank of oil through the draining plug
under the tank.
•Handle the waste oil according to law.
•Fill the tank to centre line of the indicators in the
dipstick of the filling cap.
•It is recommended to pump the oil into the tank
through a 20 µfilter, because new oil in drums
might not be pure.
•If any oil has run out on the floor, wipe it away.
FILTER CHANGE
•Filter insert must be changed together with oil.
•Purchase number: 043167.
•Open the covering plate in the tank cover.
•Unscrew the filter insert and remove it.
•Handle the old filter according to law.
•Lubricate the seal of the new filter insert with
hydraulic oil.
•Screw the filter insert on.
MASTER DIE SPRING CHANGE
Master die springs are wearing parts and therefore has to be replace after every 200 000 crimps. To replace
the springs a special tools and -craftsmanship are needed. In order to get the master die springs replaced
contact your Finn-Power representative.
Warning: Do not use the machine if there are broken or twist springs in the machine. Broken
or twist spring can damage the machine or cause personal injuries.
PRESSURE PIPES
Return cylinders on both sides of the crimping head produce the piston movement backwards and
simultaneous retraction of dies.
Hydraulic pipes to the two cylinders are high-pressure pipes (275 bar). To prevent leakage, be careful not to
damage these pipes and their connectors.
In case you notice leakage in a connector, make sure it is properly tightened. Leaking pipes must be replaced
immediately. DO NOT REPAIR PIPES!
18
RE-CALIBRATION OF CRIMPING DIAMETER DIAL
NOTE: The crimping diameter dial has been calibrated at the factory during test run.
1. Re-calibrate the crimping diameter with ferrule
(seamless steel tube), Ø 25 mm; wall 2 mm, by using
the die set 32-19.
2. Set the dial at 1.0, so that the crimping diameter will be
20 mm (see the adjacent picture) and lock the dial.
Crimp the ferrule and measure the real diameter.
3. Remove the control dial knob (avoid to turn the dial
shaft at the same time).
4. Open the dial lock lever and set the real diameter into
it (diameter of ferrule) relock it and install back.
5. Turn the dial to right diameter and crimp another
ferrule. Now the machine has been calibrated and the
real diameter should be the same than the diameter
which state on the dial. If not, repeat from point 2 and
be more careful when handling the dial.
6. After the adjustment, the crimping result should be the
minimum nominal crimping diameter of each die set
with the dial at 0.0.
