WARNING
Danfoss’s hose and Danfoss hose
fittings should only be assembled
using Danfoss approved assem-
bly equipment. Do not use any
combinations of Danfoss’s hose,
Danfoss hose fittings, or Dan-
foss assembly equipment with
hose, hose fittings, or assembly
equipment supplied by another
manufacturer.
Danfoss hereby disclaims any
obligation or liability (including
incidental and consequential
damages) arising from breach
of contract, warranty, or tort
(under negligence or strict liability
theories) should Danfoss hose,
Danfoss hose fittings, or Danfoss
assembly equipment be used
with any hose, hose fittings, or
assembly equipment supplied by
another manufacturer, or in the
event that product instructions
for each specified hose assembly
are not followed. (Reference SAE
J1273 – Recommended practice
for hydraulic hose assemblies).
!
WARNING
Failure to follow Danfoss pro-
cesses and product instructions
and limitations could lead to
premature hose assembly failures,
resulting in property damage,
serious injury, or death.
Danfoss fitting tolerances are
engineering to match Danfoss’s
hose tolerances. The combina-
tion or use of Danfoss’s hose and
hose fittings supplier by another
manufacturer may result in the
production of unreliable and/
or unsafe hose assemblies and is
neither recommended nor autho-
rized by Danfoss.
Safety Instructions
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 ET1000 crimp
machine are sintered pow-
dered metal, offering the best
combination of strength and
wear resistance for long life.
Sintered powdered metal dies
are generally brittle and care
should be taken to avoid any
sharp impact. Never strike a
die with a hardened instru-
ment.
5.
USE ONLY SPECIFIED Danfoss
PRODUCTS. Make hose assem-
blies using only Danfoss 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 Danfoss crimp
specifications.
7.
Make sure all dies are com-
pletely in place, the spacer
ring rests against the place-
ment pins, and the pusher is
pulled forward into the detent
position before crimping.
8.
DO NOT OVER PRESSURIZE.
Do not exceed the 10,000 psi
hydraulic pressure supplied
to the machine. 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 applica-
tions.
9.
DIE CHANGE. DO NOT INSERT/
REMOVE DIES WHILE THE
POWER IS ON OR MACHINE IS
IN OPERATION.
10.
SECURE THE EQUIPMENT TO A
STABLE WORK SURFACE. Prior
to operation, secure the crimp
machine to a stable work sur-
face 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
