PC150H Initial Crimper Setup
Follow these steps before using the crimper for the first time
Mount the crimper on a sturdy workbench in a well-lit area. The workbench should
be able to support the crimper weight of 236 lbs.
The crimper should be mounted close enough to the edge of the work surface so
that hose will not contact the bench or work surface while crimping. There must be
enough clearance for the hose to align perpendicular with the cone base, or the
dies will not seat properly and the crimps will not be accurate
Check the electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the crimper requirements
shown on the voltage tag.
Caution:
Do not run the PC150H crimper on an extension cord, as low voltage can
damage the motor and / or electrical components.
Check to be certain that the shipping plug in the pump reservoir has been
replaced with the vent plug shipped with the PC150H crimper.
Always check the oil level in the PC150H pump, when the cylinder is in the retracted
position. It should be 1-½" below the vent plug and it should be visible in the sight
glass window of the pump reservoir.
• If oil needs to be added use ISO 46 weight hydraulic oil.
• Oil can be drained from the rear oil port of the reservoir.
