Safety instructions
!
WARNING
Failure to follow Aeroquip process and prod uct instructions and
limitations could lead to premature hose assembly failures, resulting in
property damage, serious injury or death.
Aeroquip fitting tolerances are engineered to match Aeroquip hose
tolerances. The use of Aeroquip fittings on hose supplied by other
manufacturers and/or the use of Aeroquip hose with fittings supplied
by other manufactur ers, may result in the production of unreliable and
unsafe hose assemblies and is neither recommended nor autho rized by
Aeroquip.
Read and understand the operator’s manual before at tempting to
operate any equipment.
Aeroquip hereby disclaims any obligation or liability (in cluding inci-
dental and consequential damages) arising from breach of contract,
warranty, or tort (under negligence or strict liability theories) should
Aeroquip hose, fittings or assembly equipment be used with the hose,
fittings or assembly equipment supplied by another manufacturer, or
in the event that product instructions for each specified hose assembly
are not followed.
1.
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED
OPERATION. Do not permit
anyone to operate this equip-
ment unless they have read
and thoroughly understand
this manual.
2.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
3.
AVOID PINCH POINTS. Do not
rest your hand on the crimp
ring. Keep your hands clear of
all moving parts. Do not allow
anyone, other than the oper-
ator, close to the equipment
while it is in operation.
4.
MAINTAIN DIES WITH CARE.
Dies used in the FT1380 crimp
machine are hardened steel,
offer ing the best combina-
tion of strength and wear
re sistance for long life. Hard-
ened dies are generally brittle
and care should be taken to
avoid any sharp impact. Nev-
er strike a die with a hardened
instru ment.
5.
USE ONLY SPECIFIED AERO-
QUIP PRODUCTS. Make
hose assemblies using only
Aeroquip hose and fittings
specified for this assembly
equipment.
6.
VERIFY CORRECT CRIMP
DIAMETERS. Check and verify
correct crimp diameters of all
fittings after crimping. Do not
put any hose assemblies into
service if the crimp diameters
do not meet Aeroquip crimp
specifications.
7.
Make sure all dies are com-
pletely in place and the cage
is positioned properly on the
pressure plate.
8.
DO NOT OVER PRESSURIZE.
Do not exceed the 10,000 psi
hydraulic pressure supplied
to the ma chine. This setting
is preset at the factory and
should not require adjust-
ment.
NOTE:
All components used to
connect the pump and crimp
cylinder must meet the criteria
set forth in the Material Handling
Institute Specification #IJ100 for
hydraulic jacking applications.
9.
DIE CHANGE. Do not insert/
remove dies while the power
is on.
10.
SECURE THE EQUIPMENT TO
A STABLE WORK SURFACE.
Prior to operation, secure the
crimp machine to a stable
work surface to prevent the
equipment from tipping.
11.
UNPLUG THE POWER SUPPLY
WHEN NOT IN USE.
12.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
