1.
Sliding surfaces must be kept
free of dirt and other abrasive
materials.
2.
All exposed black metal surfac-
es should be coated occasion-
ally with a light film of oil to
prevent corrosion.
3.
Some fitting/hose combina-
tions require full pump reser-
voir capacity to complete the
crimp cycle. The oil level in the
fluid reservoir of the hydraulic
pump should be checked peri-
odically and refilled as required
with the pump manufacturer’s
hydraulic oil as needed.
NOTE:
Completely retract
the cylinder when checking the
oil level.

Crimping procedures (cont.)
Measuring crimp diameters
should be a part of the
normal hose assembly
procedure. To ensure a
proper crimp diameter,
follow these steps:
1.
Measure the diameter in
the middle of the crimped
portion of the hose end. Place
the caliper in a position to al-
low for a measurement across
the pressed (flat) portion of
the crimp.
2.
Repeat step 1 for each of the
remaining sides for a total of
four measurements.
3.
Average the four measure-
ments and compare this
average to the target crimp
diameter shown in the Power
Source crimp spec tool and
ensure it falls within tolerance.
