• This equipment should only be used by qualied, trained persons who are familiar with this equipment.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands and feet away from crimper and workpiece during operation.
• Do not exceed equipment ratings. Overloading causes equipment failure and possible personal injury. The crimper is designed
for a max. pressure of 275 bar (4,000 psi).
• Never Set the relief valve pressure above 300 bar (4,350 psi). Serious personal injury could result if this maximum limit is
exceeded. Damage to crimper pump and components may also occur.
• Keep hydraulic equipment away from ames and heat. Excessive heat will soften packings and seals, resulting in uid leaks.
Heat also weakens hose materials and packaging. For optimum performance do not expose equipment to a Temperature of
50°C (122°F) or higher. Protect hoses and cylinders from weld spatter.
Safety Notes
Hose Assembly
Should a hydraulic hose rupture, burst or need to be disconnected, immediately shut off the pump and shift the control valve
to release all pressure.
• Never grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands.
• Always keep the hose away from re, sharp surfaces, heavy impact and extreme heat or cold. Never kink, twist, curl or
bend the hose so tightly that the oil ow within will be blocked or reduced.
• Always inspect the hose for wear periodically, as any of these conditions can damage the hose and possibly result in
personal injury.
• Hose material and coupling seal must be compatible with the hydraulic uid used.
• Hose must not come in contact with corrosive materials.
• Never paint a coupling, hose will deteriorate due to toxic materials.
• Never use the hose to move attached crimper. Stress can damage the hose and may cause personal injury.

The Master Dies are greased at the point of manufacture after nal testing. This should not be relied on to protect the crimper
during initial use. Prior to commissioning, the machine should be greased according to operating Instructions.
Greasing of the master dies is critical to ensuring a long and trouble-free life for the crimper. Greasing frequency should be
increased when operating in aggressive or high volume environments.
Greasing
Running-In
Recommended run-in period for a new machine is 20 crimps.
It is recommended the greasing process is carried out at least twice a day, more if the machine is in constant use.
The purpose of frequent greasing is to ensure that there is always enough grease 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.
During the run-in period grease the machine after every 100 crimps.

Machine Placement
Place the machine on a stable and at surface.
Selecting Dies
Determine the crimping dimensions for the hose assembly and select the die set with the correct range that corresponds with the
required nished crimp diameter.
Example: A crimping measurement of 17.0 mm requires the die set size 16 as it covers the
16-19 mm range.
Selecting the die set within the correct range will achieve the best crimping results.
Every die is marked with the smallest crimping measurement in the range.
Note!
Crimping outside the range is not recommended.
Using dies that are too small risks the ferrule becoming oval.
Operation
