WARNING:
Improperly made assemblies could result in blowing the hose out of the fittings at
high pressure, risk of fire and/or serious injury or death.
•
Crimp MUST MEET specified crimp diameter. All settings are approximate!
•
Machine tolerances exist for each crimper, die set and supporting piece of
equipment, which will affect your actual crimp setting.
•
ALWAYS check the crimp diameter to ensure that it is within published
limits.
5. Set RETRACT TIME if necessary.
The RETRACT TIME can be adjusted to control the final die shoe position after
crimping.
•
Place an uncrimped coupling in front of the crimper mouth.
•
Adjust the RETRACT TIME using the slider on the CRIMP SCREEN.
•
Press and hold bottom RETRACT button until mouth clears coupling.
6. Install assembly into crimper head.
•
Insert straight assemblies through either the front or back of crimper head. If a
bent tube is being crimped, it must be crimped by loading assembly from the rear
of crimper.
•
Jog crimp dies until they just contact the ferrule. Be sure the ferrule and crimp
dies are lined up properly to achieve proper crimp length.
7. Begin the crimp.
•
Press and hold top CRIMP button
or foot pedal.
•
When crimping a two-piece coupling
a
s soon as the die fingers contact the
ferrule, pull slightly on the hose assembly
.
That ensures the ferrule-locking collar
is properly located over the stem locking groove.
•
Crimper will close to the position selected for the SET POINT VALUE. Once it
reaches that position, the crimper stops automatically.
•
Press and hold the RETRACT button until the assembly can be removed.
•
Crimp is now complete.
NOTE: While in CRIMP mode, the CRIMP button and foot pedal operate on a “dead
man” control. They only operate as long as they are depressed. The crimper stops
immediately when button or pedal is released. Press the RETRACT button to retract. If
using the foot pedal,
when the crimper reaches the crimp setting,
the crimper
switches
to retract. The crimper will then automatically open to the RETRACT position as long as
the foot pedal is depressed.
