TION CHECK PROCEDURE
T420 MICROMETER
• Plug the D165-T420 crimper directly into a 110 volt wall outlet.
CAUTION: DO NOT RUN THE CRIMPER ON AN EXTENSION
CORD AS LOW VOLTAGE CAN DAMAGE THE MOTOR.
• Oil level in the D165-T420 pump should be 1-1/2 to 2 inches below the fi ll plug and should be visible
in the sight glass window of the pump reservoir
• Check to be certain that the shipping plug in the pump reservoir has been
replaced with the Oil Fill and Vent Plug shipped with the crimper.
• Place any
Die Set
and the
Pressure Plate
in the
crimper bottom fl ange in the order shown. (A hose and
fi tting are not required for a calibration check)
•
Lubricate the die set as shown in Crimping Instructions.
NOTE: FAILURE TO LUBRICATE THE DIE SET AND
COMPRESSION CONE COULD RESULT IN THE DIE
SET SEIZING IN THE COMPRESSION CONE
.
• Slide the
Pusher
onto the stud on the hydraulic cylinder.
• Set the Micrometer at “0”.
• Depress and hold the
Start/Stop
switch on the D165 Series or continue to
apply pressure to the D160 Series until the Die set is completely closed and oil
pressure has built up in the hydraulic cylinder.
•
For the D165 Series:
If the ram extends and shuts off the motor approxi-
mately 1 second after the die fi ngers are completely closed and the pump
builds pressure (The sound of the pump will change) the crimper is correctly
calibrated.
•
For the D160 Series:
If the white line is just visible as shown in the il-
lustration after the dies are completely closed and pressure has built up
in the hydraulic cylinder the crimper is correctly calibrated.
• If the above conditions are not met, the crimper must be recalibrated.
See calibration instructions on P 7.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS BEFORE USING THE CRIMPER FOR THE FIRST TIME
