Step 8:
Set the Micro-Crimp Adjuster to the setting recommended by
the hose and fitting manufacturer for the combination of hose and fitting
being crimped.
For example: With a 23mm die set and the Micro-Crimp Adjuster set at
3.0, the finished crimp diameter would be 26.0 mm (23mm + 3.0mm).
Note:
Each die set has a limited range of diameters for which a satisfactory
crimp can be obtained. Always consult your hose and fitting manufacturer
for the correct die set for the hose and fitting being crimped.
Step 9:
Apply pressure to the (Hand or Pneumatic Pump), to bring the
pusher in contact with the compression ring until the hose and fitting are
held in position with very light pressure.
• Check to make sure the notched compression ring is evenly placed on
the die set and the die set is correctly aligned.
• Recheck the fitting for alignment.
Step 10:
Continue to apply pressure as pusher travels downward,
compressing the compression ring onto the die set to crimp the coupling.
As the micrometer moves down, it will touch the red button and the LED
indicator light will turn on to indicate that the crimp is complete.
Release pressure so the pusher will retract.
