EATON
ET1187 Operating Instructions E-EQCR-11001-E1 November 2018
Read and understand the
operator’s manual before
attempting to operate any
equipment.
WARNING
Aeroquip hose, hose
fittings and assembly equip
-
ment should be used only
with other Aeroquip hose,
hose fittings and assembly
equipment and Weather-
head hose, hose fittings and
assembly equipment should
be used only with Weather-
head hose, hose fittings and
assembly equipment. Do
not combine or use Aeroquip
or Weatherhead hose, hose
fittings and assembly equip
-
ment with each other, i.e.
Aeroquip hose with Weath-
erhead fittings, or with hose,
hose fittings or assembly
equipment supplied by an-
other manufacturer.
Eaton hereby disclaims any
obligation or liability (includ-
ing incidental and conse-
quential damages) arising
from breach of contract,
warranty, or tort (under
negligence or strict liability
theories) should Aeroquip or
Weatherhead hose fittings or
assembly equipment be used
interchangeably or with any
hose, fittings or assembly
equipment supplied by an-
other manufacturer, or in the
event that product instruc-
tions for each specified hose
assembly are not followed.
WARNING
Failure to follow
process and product instruc-
tions and limitations could
lead to premature hose
assembly failures, resulting
in property damage, serious
injury or death. Aeroquip
and Weatherhead fitting
tolerances are engineered to
match Aeroquip and Weath-
erhead hose tolerances. The
combination or use of Aero-
quip or Weatherhead hose
and hose fittings with each
other, i.e. Aeroquip hose with
Weatherhead fittings, or with
hose or fittings supplied by
another manufacturer may
result in the production of un-
reliable and/or unsafe hose
assemblies and is neither
recommended or authorized
by Eaton.
Safety Instructions
1. PREVENT UNAUTHOR-
IZED OPERATION. Do
not permit anyone to
operate this equipment
unless they have read
and thoroughly under-
stand 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 operator, close to the
equipment while it is in
operation.
4. MAINTAIN DIES WITH
CARE. Dies used in the
ET1187 crimp machine
are hardened steel,
offering the best combi
-
nation of strength and
wear resistance for long
life. Hardened dies are
generally brittle and care
should be taken to avoid
any sharp impact. Never
strike a die with a hard-
ened instrument.
5. USE ONLY SPECIFIED
AEROQUIP/WEATH-
ERHEAD PRODUCTS.
Make hose assemblies
using only Aeroquip and
Weatherhead 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 as-
semblies into service if
the crimp diameters do
not meet Eaton crimp
specifications.
7. Make sure all dies are
completely in place, the
spacer ring rests against
the placement pins, and
the pusher is pulled
forward into the detent
position before crimping.
8. DO NOT OVER
PRESURIZE. Do not
exceed the 10,000 psi
hydraulic pressure sup-
plied to the machine.
NOTE: All components
used to connect the
pump and crimp cylinder
must meet the criteria set
forth in the Material Han-
dling Institute Specifica
-
tion #IJ100 for hydraulic
jacking applications.
9. DIE CHANGE. DO NOT
INSERT/REMOVE DIES
WHILE THE POWER IS
ON OR MACHINE IS IN
OPERATION.
10. SECURE THE EQUIP-
MENT TO A STABLE
WORK SURFACE. Prior
to operation, secure the
crimp machine to a stable
work surface to prevent
the equipment from tip-
ping.
11. UNPLUG THE POWER
SUPPLY WHEN NOT IN
USE.
12. KEEP WORK AREA-
CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite ac-
cidents
