Preoperation Procedures
CAUTION: THIS MACHINE IS TOP HEAVY!
Uncrate the FT1244 crimp machine and inspect the machine for possible shipping damage. The following components are in the tool box.
1 can of high efficiency PTFE grease (Danfoss part number FF91455)
1 Cone Locator Assembly
1 Hydraulic Unit Breather Cap
This machine is shipped completely plumbed and wired. The hydraulic unit reservoir has been filled with hydraulic oil.
Remove the pipe plug from the top of the reservoir and install the breather cap. Install the cone locator in the holder.
Installation
Install the machine on a solid floor capable of holding 425 pounds. Secure the machine to the floor with four 5/16” diameter fasteners
through the slots provided in the base. Position the motor switch (located on the front panel) in the stop position and plug in the cord.
The FT1244 crimp machine is wired for 115V, 60 Hz service and requires a 30 amp circuit breaker or fuse.
Tooling
A tooling set up consists of eight crimp dies and a fitting locator. The locator is used to locate the fitting in the machine. A cone shaped
locator is used when crimping straight fittings and a series of optional yoke locators is available for locating elbow fittings.
Do not attempt to operate the machine with less than eight (8) dies or intermix dies of different sets.
A die storage area is provided within the machine. Dies should be put away after use to avoid abrasive dust and dirt from sticking to the
friction surfaces and causing premature wear on dies or other machine components.
